A team from Spalding’s Johnson Community Hospital has been nominated for The EBP Investors In Education Awards in recognition of its partnership with local schools and for providing high quality work experience opportunities.
The team has been providing work experience opportunities for several years.
Annette Goulding, administrator at Lincolnshire Community Health Services NHS Trust (LCHS), said: “Our team at Johnson Community Hospital are thrilled to be nominated for this award. It was quite a surprise but we are really pleased.
“We work with local schools and colleges to provide a varied work experience timetable to allow students from Spalding, Boston, Stamford, Bourne and Sleaford to be engaged and to see whether it would be a career path they would like to take.”
She added: “It means a lot to us that we were nominated by a student. We get very positive feedback from those who have undertaken work experience with us. We provide a unique opportunity for students to experience what it is like to work in a hospital.”
The team will collect the award at a ceremony on Thursday, May 21 at Belton Woods, Grantham.
Phil Everett, sales, marketing and communications manager at The EBP, said: “The IIE Awards are a fantastic opportunity to celebrate the efforts that employers across the county put in to supporting the next generation of employees.
“The awards are our way of recognising the support that businesses give to young people by helping them prepare for what lies ahead and become employable, work-ready individuals.”
