A virtual work experience platform is now live for anyone 13+ in North Cumbria.

The 'Springpod programme is available to sign up here and will help people gain a better understanding of the different careers on offer in the world of primary care.

It highlights some of the key careers available and people will be able to see a range of video content, as well as participating in a series of activities and quizzes to bring them closer to a career with us in primary care.

The programme also provides a certificate of completion which should help enhance student's applications for jobs and apprenticeships.

Throughout the programme there are videos which feature some of our local faces, these were produced by Primary Care Services North Cumbria and have also been made available on our website (we have featured the content below as well as in our careers section).

We hope that this Springpod experience will provide students, or those interested in primary care roles, a really interesting introduction and insight to the large amount of varied roles available to them.
