Over the summer, the SCORE programme team have been actively recruiting, supporting, and training candidates for Health Care Assistant roles, helping young people gain specialist training as they begin their employment journey in the Trust.

Arshdeep, one of the many successful participants of the programme, said: “I gained a lot of transferable skills, such as communication, and I feel it has helped me to gain a potential job in the NHS.”

Tom Morris, Education and Skills Tutor for the Foundation said: “Participants of the SCORE Programme were able to develop their own personal skills, as well as the five key skills of leadership - communication, teamwork, self-belief, self-management and problem solving.

“All participants involved expressed their gratitude to the Education and Skills team at the Aston Villa Foundation, for helping them build up their confidence, as well as make the sessions enjoyable and tailored to them.”
