Residents can find out more about career opportunities in the health and social care sector in the latest Essex Careers magazine.

The magazine supports residents with features on roles in specific industries and sectors. It also features tips, tricks and insights for securing jobs and training opportunities. It is available free of charge online. Reference copies are also available in schools, colleges, libraries and Job Centres across Essex.  

The second issue focusses on the health and social care sector and features insights from experts in the sector. Employing over 97,000 individuals, it is one of the largest employment sectors in Essex. This is set to grow to 100,000 employees by 2031.

Councillor Tony Ball, Essex County Council Cabinet Member for Education Excellence, Lifelong Learning and Employability, said:

As the second-largest employing sector in Essex, it is vital that we continue to support health and social care colleagues in their training and recruitment endeavours.

Essex Careers showcases the range of opportunities within the sector, as well as the various entry routes available to access these roles. We look forward to hearing feedback from residents and partners as well as to publishing further editions of Essex Careers later this year.
