Step into the NHS for primary schools

Step into the NHS is an exciting KS2 resource and national competition, designed to help raise pupils’ career aspirations, challenge stereotyping and develop awareness of over 350 different NHS careers.

Teacher resources

The KS2 one lesson launch resource allows your pupils to:

• explore a wide range of careers

• help you meet the Department for Education’s careers strategy
• introduce meaningful career-related learning to your pupils.
