NURSES at Glan Clwyd Hospital have reacted to staff shortages by arranging their own recruitment day.

The nursing professionals are busy finalising plans for the open day on Saturday, November 12, which begins at 10am and finishes at 3pm.

Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board (BCUHB) currently has a staffing problem; the health board has been too reliant on locum and agency staff, in common with most health boards in Wales, because of staff vacancies.

It is hoped the day will attract those interested in applying for qualified nursing roles as well as the Apprenctice Healthcare Assistant programme.

The scheme lasts for two years and apprenctices gain NVQ qualifications plus, hopefully, a full-time job on completion.

Jane Woollard, Glan Clwyd Hospital?s director of nursing, said: ?We want people aged between 18 and 25, who have an interest in healthcare, to come along and see what a rewarding career this can be.

?Nursing is a tough job, though really rewarding, and the support given by our healthcare assistants is vital. We need more and we can offer on the job training and career advancement to those who want to make it their vocation.

?We?ve seen healthcare support workers make that transition into Band 5 nursing and it fills us with pride to see their progression.

?We also want to see registered nurses on our open day. It doesn?t matter whether you are newly qualified or experienced ? it?s about compassionate care for the people of North Wales.

?We need you to work either in our acute sites or out in the community and our links with colleges and universities afford plenty of opportunity for development ? even up to PhD level if that is your aim.?

For more information about the opportunities on offer email Rhian Jones, lead recruitment nurse for Glan Clwyd Hospital, at Rhian.Jones9@wales.nhs.uk or Jane Woollard, IHC associate director of nursing, at Jane.Woollard@wales.nhs.uk

The government is considering plans to coax retired middle-aged workers back into jobs to boost the economy.

Older people who have given up work could be offered what is being dubbed a "midlife MoT" to entice them back into employment, the Times reports.

The paper says the MoT would assess finances and opportunities for work.

It follows a recent House of Lords committee finding that a wave of early retirement following the pandemic has caused a huge labour shortage.

The report by the influential economic affairs committee examined the jump in economic inactivity - the number of people not in work or looking for work - and rising vacancies since 2020.

Economic inactivity has increased by 565,000 people since the start of the pandemic, according to the analysis.

The report highlighted retirement, increased sickness, changes to migration and the UK's aging population all contributed to the current tightness in the labour market.

A new Young People?s Hub has also been launched as stakeholders sharpen their focus on uniting industry to provide more opportunities and help support 16 to 24 year olds into employment and/or training to develop lifelong skills.

Libby Duo, strategic manager for Conwy Employment Service, said: ?Following the success of last year?s Expo we are delighted to be able to bring businesses, educators, and organisations from a wide variety of arenas together to showcase their organisations and discuss future careers and apprenticeships with young people in the area.

?We will have a mixture of stands, interactive displays and activities designed to bring young people and employers under one roof, so they can engage and move forward together.

?This is a free event so it?s also a cost-effective platform for recruitment, while demonstrating how the private and public sector in North Wales are working in tandem to help fill the many job roles that are out there.?

The Barn at Eirias Events Centre will be divided into sections for exhibitors, talks and workshops, and this year will include an inflatable assault course and iBox games bus.

Among those to have already registered are Grwp Llandrillo Menai, Betsi Cadwaladr University Health Board and North Wales Training.

Sioned Williams, community and social impact manager at Creating Enterprise, said this is a golden opportunity that employers, schools, colleges and universities should capitalise on.

?We are really excited to be a part of the planning team and are focused on promoting the day to as many young people in our communities as possible, as well as the opportunities we have at Creating Enterprise and Cartrefi Conwy,? she said.

?We are so lucky to live in an area where so many employers are supportive of our projects and initiatives ? it?s amazing to be able to pair the young people and opportunities.?

Peter Cadmore, a stakeholder engagement manager at Careers Wales, added: ?We?re thrilled to be attending the Conwy Careers Fair again this year.

?Events such as these are a fantastic way of engaging with young people on different careers and local opportunities.

?We will be there to talk to young people about their options and provide guidance on potential next steps.?
