CityCare Success Story

Connecting motivated people with real opportunities in care
Access Training partnered with CityCare to deliver our employability programme that supported individuals to take confident steps into a career in health and social care, while helping the employer attract candidates who were genuinely motivated and job-ready.

Working closely with CityCare and local Jobcentre Plus teams, we designed a programme that reflected real roles, real expectations and real opportunities, creating a clear pathway from unemployment into sustainable employment.

A practical, employer-led approach
The Access Works programme combined structured employability support with direct employer engagement, giving participants a realistic insight into working in the care sector.

Through interactive workshops and interview preparation, and an employer-led insight and shadowing experience, participants were able to build: 

• Confidence and self-belief
• Stronger employability skills
• A clear understanding of CityCare’s values and recruitment process.

This blended approach ensured candidates were not only prepared to apply for roles, but fully understood what the job involved.

Strong outcomes for candidates and employers
Nine participants completed the programme, with excellent engagement throughout. The outcomes speak for themselves:

• 8 out of 9 participants progressed to submitting job applications
• 3 participants secured employment with CityCare
• One participant achieved the second-highest interview score overall.

Participants reported increased confidence and a clearer sense of direction, while CityCare benefited from a pool of candidates who were well-prepared, informed and aligned to the organisation’s values.

This partnership with CityCare demonstrates how we deliver tangible recruitment results, strengthens employer engagement and supports individuals into meaningful work.

By bringing employers and jobseekers together in a structured, supportive way, Access Training helps businesses fill vacancies with confidence and helps people take their next step into sustainable employment.
