Kickstart

The Kickstart Scheme

Our Greater Manchester Kickstart Scheme offers six-month jobs for young people aged 16 to 24 years old who are currently claiming Universal Credit and are at risk of long-term unemployment. For employers not only will you have a young person working for you, funded by the Government, but the employee will also be developing transferable skills that are aimed at increasing their chances of sustained employment.

​

Working in primary care in Greater Manchester is a varied, busy and exciting place with many opportunities not just in nursing but in administration, HR, finance, communications and project management among others.  This is a chance for employers to offer young people a taste of what it’s like to work in the much loved and fast-paced environment of the NHS.
