The We Want You project showcases the large variety of NHS careers available, whilst empowering young people to consider their future careers.

The We Want You project at NHS Gloucestershire Integrated Care Board (ICB) focuses on supporting young people to reflect on the skills and personal interests that they have, which can be matched to a future career in health and care. This is part of the ICB’s principle of ensuring that organisations within the integrated care system (ICS) are local employers of choice.

Challenges such as climate change, conflict and the cost of living crisis have created some of the toughest conditions in recent history for young people to thrive. These barriers don’t just affect their present circumstances—they jeopardise their future, restricting access to education, employment, and opportunity. Yet despite these challenges, the innate potential of this generation remains boundless.

Around the world, young people are innovating, solving issues in their communities and blazing a trail for others. This generation is bursting with ambition, energy, and the drive to build better futures.

At King’s Trust International, we believe that by providing the right tools and support, we can help young people unlock their potential. For nearly a decade, we have partnered with local organisations to break down barriers and provide access to education, training, and resources.

We have supported over 100,000 young people since our incecption.
