NHS Employers is the employers’ organisation for the NHS in England. We support workforce leaders and represent employers to build a sustainable workforce and enable organisations to be the best employers they can be.
The Refugee Health and Care Employment Programme is scaling the recruitment of refugee and displaced talent as a workforce solution across clinical and non-clinical roles
in the NHS.
Building on successful local initiatives, we have supported 200+ healthcare professionals into NHS employment and developed system-wide pathways.
We work in partnership with NHS organisations, NHS England, DWP, British Red Cross, Health Foundation, Refugee Council, REACHE, Ukrainian Medical Charity, Breaking Barriers, ReSTORE, REPOD and LRDP.
Vision: A health and care system that utilises
the skills of refugee and displaced talent to strengthen workforce supply, inclusion, and patient care.
Mission: To unlock the skills and experience of
refugees and displaced people to support delivery of high-quality patient care.
Aim: To support the successful integration of
people from forced migration backgrounds into the health and care workforce through scalable, sustainable employment pathways.
