Work In… Health & Care | Citizen Hub Wimbledon

Job descriptions and course pages can only tell you so much.

Work In… is a new series from Citizen Hub Wimbledon giving young people the chance to meet people who actually work in different industries, hear how they got there and ask the questions that don't always get answered elsewhere.

This evening is all about Health & Care.

We're bringing together people with different experiences of the industry from those established in their careers to people who have only recently started out, and from employees to business owners and self-employed professionals.

There won't be long presentations or corporate pitches. Instead, we'll have an honest conversation about what working in the industry is actually like.

How do you get your first opportunity? What jobs are actually out there? What qualifications do you need, if any? What can you earn? What are the difficult bits? What does progression look like? And what do people working in the industry wish they'd known when they started?

You'll be able to ask your own questions before spending the second half of the evening talking directly with our guests, getting advice and making useful connections.

• Meet people who actually work in health and care
• Hear the different routes they've taken into the industry
• Discover jobs, apprenticeships, training and other opportunities
• Get honest insight into the realities of the work, not just the highlights
• Ask questions directly to people with industry experience
• Get individual advice and guidance
• Build connections with people who could help you take your next step

Whether you already know you want to work in health or care, you're considering it as an option, or you're simply curious about what's out there, you don't need to arrive knowing exactly what you want to do.

Come along, ask questions and find out whether there might be a place for you in the industry.

Info: Come in, get comfortable and meet the Citizen Hub team and the other young people joining us for the evening. We'll give you a quick introduction to Working In… and what to expect.

Info: Meet our industry guests and hear the real stories behind their careers: how they got started, the routes they took, what they've learned, the opportunities they've found and the setbacks along the way. Then it's your turn to ask questions. Nothing too formal and no question is too obvious.

Info: No more panel, this hour is about conversation. Speak directly with our guests, ask the questions relevant to you, get individual advice and guidance, discover opportunities and make connections that could help with your next step.
