”Helping young people by supporting them to build the confidence and skills to live, learn and earn.”
The King’s Trust has a partnership with the Department of Health & Social Care to support young people aged 16-30 into starting and sustaining careers in the care sector.
Our free support can run from our Newcastle centre or can be delivered online to support young people with confidence, job awareness, employability skills, application writing and interview preparation. We also provide ongoing support with the pre-employment onboarding process, financial barriers and settling into a new job.
