Case Study: Boroughs Partnership NHS Foundation Trust grows its health visitor workforce with NHS Employers

Boroughs Partnership NHS Foundation Trust - Customer Case Study

The customer, Boroughs Partnership NHS Foundation Trust, a provider of mental health and learning disability services, had a challenge in meeting government health visitor workforce targets. They partnered with the vendor, NHS Employers, and their local education provider to create career progression pathways for their support staff.

NHS Employers worked with the trust to implement a 'grow your own' secondment program, enabling 15 support staff to apply for a place on a specialized '2+1' degree pathway to become qualified health visitors. The solution allowed the trust to develop internal talent, build a support network for students, and enhance the future skill set of their workforce, with staff like Leah Kearns successfully progressing through the program.
