The Big Event – Discover Careers in Health & Social Care is an event being held for people in Derbyshire and the surrounding areas who are looking to find out more about careers in health and social care.
The event is supported by Buxton & Leek College and Joined up Careers Derbyshire, bringing together health and care organisations to support and develop the current and future health and care workforce.
Attendees will have the opportunity to meet with a range of employers in the sector and find out more about career opportunities from NHS and Local Authority employers. Careers representatives from Department for Work and Pensions, Buxton & Leek College and the University of Derby will also be available to discuss education and training opportunities.

It’s also a great opportunity for employers to meet people in the area who are interested in a career in health and social care and try and fill any vacancies they may have.”
