Key stage 3

The Jay Perez Story comprises all you need to deliver an interactive 1.5 – 2 hour session on careers in the NHS. The session incorporates video scenes from a simulated patient journey.

We meet Jay as he sustains his injury and then follow him through emergency services, hospital treatment and after he goes home, finding out all about the staff who help him along that journey to recovery.

During the session students will gain and an understanding of the Health and Social Care sector, insight into the size of the industry and some of the main workforce staffing groups. They will learn about career routes and pathways into health and social care and the skills you need to succeed in the workplace.  

Resources:

  • JS Y8-Y9 lesson plan

Key stage 4 and 5

The Jay Perez Story learning set comprises a sequence of five video clips, each with accompanying tasks and activities. We follow Jay, after his accident, as he interacts with health and care staff in the emergency response team, the operating department, on the ward, at home and in the GP surgery.  

The aim of this resource is for students to find out about different careers in health and care that they may not know about.  There is a strong focus on the differences between roles and how teams work together. A focus on skills forms a theme throughout the five scenes and activities: both specialist skills and those more transferable life skills that health and social care staff use every day. 

At the end of the session students will be able to name and understand a wide cross section of roles in health and care sector. Students will gain an understanding of how skills are used in the workplace and the importance of transferable skills. 

Resources:

  • Questions sheets JSQ1-5
