This programme has been designed to support people who have had a career break or are trying to transfer their skills in to a new sector or one they used to work in. We know that any gap in work experience or a move away from a sector or skill set makes it very hard to return or join through standard recruitment channels.

If you meet the criteria for this role but are unsure if you are eligible for the programme, we encourage you to make an application.
