The key stage 4 resources provide teachers with everything they need to deliver interactive and informative lessons with confidence. They span five topic areas that each deliver different learning outcomes:
1. My interests, skills and choices - students will reflect on their personal interests and skills and match them with NHS careers using a questionnaire and skills map resource.
2. Work-related skills - through an engaging skills activity and role play, students will explore qualities and skills needed for a range of NHS roles.
3. Verbal and non-verbal communication - students will learn how to prepare for an interview, with engaging resources such as body language prompt cards and emotion wheels.
4. Working to help young people deal with their problems - students will use factsheets to identify common issues young people face and create an engaging campaign to help people deal with these issues.
5. Preparing for the world of work - students will learn writing techniques and top tips to help them create a CV for a specific job.
