CTM hosts healthcare careers fair in partnership with The College Merthyr Tydfil

This summer, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board (CTM UHB) partnered with The College Merthyr Tydfil to host a health care careers fair for pupils aged 16-18 at the Merthyr Tydfil campus during the college’s transition week.

A wide range of CTM UHB colleagues and teams came together to engage with the students, to represent their professions and share insights into current job opportunities within the Health Board. Exhibitors included CTM teams from Administrative Services, IT and Digital, Estates, Facilities, Medical Records, Nursing and Midwifery, Medical and Dental, Allied Health, and Health Science Services.

Students had the opportunity to speak directly with staff, explore various career pathways in healthcare, and learn how to apply for roles within the Health Board. Information was also provided on setting up job alerts to stay informed about future vacancies.
