Congratulations to Sophie! Sophie has been successful in gaining a Kickstart opportunity within Care Plus Group working as a Continence Support Worker with the Continence Team.

The Kickstart programme is a government initiative aimed at supporting young people aged 16-24 years onto an employment pathway by providing funding to create job placements.

 Sophie, who has studied at Lincoln University, graduated with a BSc degree in Psychology before achieving a further MSc degree in Forensic Psychology. Wanting to gain experience within the Health & Social Care sector, she was then referred by her DWP work coach to apply for the Kickstart position. Sophie was supported by Care Plus Group Employability Services throughout the recruitment process and will continue to do so during the term of employment.

Sophie is over the moon in achieving the role, stating: “The opportunity to work as part of the Kickstart programme has given me the chance to enhance my career prospects by gaining fundamental skills and training! I am really looking forward to working alongside practicing professionals and learning from the outstanding practice they already provide, hoping I will be able to contribute to the client’s experience.”
