Where: Bristol Prince’s Trust Centre (Canningford House, Victoria Street, Bristol BS1 6BY)

What: A 2-hour interactive info session to learn more about what health care is! We will have support workers from Sirona in to talk about their journey and the career progression that they are following (internal training to become Physiotherapists, Occupational Therapists etc.).
There will be the opportunity to sign up for live apprenticeship roles at the event to help you secure a job role in Sirona! We will also let you know about how the Prince’s Trust can support you into wider health and social care roles, through our access courses 'Get Started' or 'Get Into' as well as the opportunity for mentoring.
If you want to learn more about how you can start with no experience and end up as a fully qualified nurse, physiotherapist or OT, come along!
If you are interested in, already applying for, about to start, or simply want to learn more about the roles and career paths available in Health & Social Care, then Steps Into could be perfect for you.
