Step into the NHS competition for key stage 2

The resources have strong links to the Department for Education's careers strategy and can be used as part of the key stage 2 curriculum. 

What’s it all about?

It’s never too early to get young people thinking about their career and these exciting resources and competition allow teachers to take their pupils on a progressive learning journey. 

The resources raise pupils' aspirations and challenge gender stereotyping by helping them learn about themselves and explore the wide range of careers available in the NHS.

After working through the resources, pupils in years 3 - 6 are encouraged to create a piece of artwork or creative writing celebrating the NHS and have the chance to have their entry displayed in public and win a £25 or £50 Amazon voucher,  an exciting goody bag and a prize for their school.
