We have a number of different routes into employment
We have adapted the way we recruit to help address health inequalities in our community. We know that being in employment helps people lead better lives. Having people from the local community in the workforce helps us give better, more personalised care.
You can access vacancies in a number of ways:
NHS Jobs/Trac
All our external vacancies go onto NHS Jobs and Trac Recruitment. Here you will be able to see adverts, job descriptions, the requirements for the role and a contact name if you want a chat.
Job Centre Plus
All our vacancies are also available via the Job Centre website. Our local Job Centre teams are able to give you direct support in terms of applying for jobs.
You can read more below about other routes into employment at the Trust.
Tameside and Glossop IC NHS FT offers a variety of clinical and non-clinical apprenticeship opportunities.
Apprenticeships are a fantastic way to earn whilst you learn, combining on-the-job training and study while being in a paid job role. Apprentices receive a nationally recognised qualification and relevant sector-based work experience at the end of their apprenticeship.
For external candidates, any apprenticeship vacancies can be found under the 'vacancies' page.
Existing staff wishing to know more about apprenticeship opportunities should contact apprenticeships@tgh.nhs.uk.
We have recently launched a scheme whereby our existing volunteers can get priority access to vacancies for paid employment. Volunteering is a great way of getting used to a working environment or building up skills and confidence. Find out more about volunteering at the Trust.
Supported internships are a structured, work-based study programme which aim to support young people (16-24 year olds) with special educational needs or a disability to gain sustained paid employment.
The interns spend typically around 70% of their week in a work placement and the remaining time in college. Interns receive in-work support from a job coach, who supports both them and their employers during these placements.
If you would like to know more information about supported internships, contact Nicola Yole on 07725 548 800, e-mail nicola.yole@activetameside.com or visit the website Everybody Can | Active Tameside.
