North East Health and Life Sciences Sector Careers Toolkit

Health and life sciences is a sector of strategic importance to the North East economy, presenting an opportunity to drive economic growth and deliver more and better jobs. Building upon our exceptional health and life science assets, and strengths in pharmaceutical manufacturing, the North East Local Enterprise Partnership have outlined an ambition to double the number of jobs and businesses within the sector by 2030.

In 2022 the North East LEP conducted research in partnership with pharmaceutical manufacturing and life sciences employers across the region, to identify the skills and roles in most demand by employers, and mapped different careers pathways into these key roles. You can find out more here.

This toolkit aims to support secondary school teachers to link careers in the North East health and life sciences sector to the Maths, English, and Science KS3 and KS4 curriculum. The toolkit focuses on three growing, or high employment areas within the North East health and life sciences sector, highlighting a range of job roles, skills, and routes into careers.
