AHP Careers Intervention and Resource

The Allied Health Professions are art therapists, drama therapists, music therapists, chiropodists/podiatrists, dietitians, occupational therapists, operating department practitioners, orthoptists, osteopaths, prosthetists and orthotists, paramedics, physiotherapists, diagnostic radiographers, therapeutic radiographers, speech and language therapists.

There is a pressing need to support children in schools to understand the career opportunities available within this relatively unknown group of professions. We have a number of initiatives that this work will need to link with as part of a coherent strategy of orientation.

The outcome needs to be a focussed multi-media careers resource, with a live focus point, to support school children of all senior school ages to understand what each AHP profession is, what they do, where they work and how they interrelate with the health and care teams. The work will involve developing content across a number of different clinical, community and local authority environments and working alongside the 14 professional bodies and other stakeholders.

HEE is looking to partner with an organisation skilled in schools careers resource production, key facets we are looking for include:
