NHS Doncaster & Bassetlaw
Aspire to Be worked with the NHS to create a realistic hospital ward training room using genuine hospital equipment. All 17 individuals who completed the pilot programme were offered roles in the NHS facilities department.
Our partnership with Aspire to Be is an inspiring example of how tailored support and collaboration can make a real difference to people’s lives.

City of Doncaster Council
Together, we developed a simulated residential care room with professional-grade equipment.
Aspire to Be’s tailored methods support individuals in a way that truly prepares them for the social care sector. It’s a powerful pathway to employment.

Learners train in our simulated hotel suite to prepare for hospitality work.
Many have since been employed across three Premier Inn sites in Doncaster.
The candidates outshone on the day. The simulated areas are outstanding.
