Your CV is an essential part of getting a job. It’s the first thing an employer or a recruiter will see of you, so you want to make a good impression.

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Your CV is designed to demonstrate why you'd be a good fit for the role you're applying for, whether it's a full-time job, an apprenticeship or an internship, to name a few. It includes any professional experience and your education too. But it's also designed to showcase your personality and how you might be a good fit for the company.

How to write a CV

While there is no 'one way' to write a CV, there are a couple of elements that most CVs always have:

Length: no longer than two sides of A4 paper, typed (not including your cover letter).

Font: keep it black, between size 10-12, and a common type such as Calibri, Arial or Times New Roman.

Layout: simple and clear, using headings, formatting (bolding, italics, underlining), and spacing to structure the information and make it easy to read.

Keep in mind that the simpler the layout, the more likely it'll look the same across different devices. If you're applying for a creative or design role, you might want to play with the layout to help show your practical skills.

Our Travel Bursary covers the cost of a round trip journey from your home postcode to our Headington Campus at a rate of £0.40 per mile, up to a limit of £80 claim.

Who is the Open Day Travel Bursary for?

You can apply for the bursary if you are a UK student and meet at least one of the following criteria:

You live in an area where progression to university is low. If your home postcode is in quintile 1 or 2 of the POLAR4 measure, you are eligible for a travel bursary. To find out whether this applies to you, please use the Office for Students postcode search tool.

You live in an area of higher socio-economic disadvantage. If your postcode is in decile 1 - 4 of the 'Index of Multiple Deprivation', you are eligible for a travel bursary. To find out whether this applies to you, please use the English indices of deprivation postcode lookup tool.

You are a care leaver (you have spent any time in local authority care, for example with foster carers or in a children's home).

You are an estranged student (you are irreconcilably estranged from both your parents, and you are a UK student who is under 25).

You have previously taken part in Discover Brookes, Brookes Engage, or an Oxford Brookes Summer School.

How do I claim the Open Day Travel Bursary?

You should register for the event you are attending on eventbrite which will enable our system to identify whether you are eligible. If you are eligible you will then receive a separate email from our team. This will include the amount that you can claim, and the process for claiming your bursary.

The travel bursary is only available for your journey to our Open Days, travelling directly to and from the Oxford Brookes Campus.

You need to register on eventbrite which acts as your application for the travel bursary.

Biology/Anaesthetics: Blood & Gas Exchange During Surgery - UEA (KS5)

This session will give a broad introduction to the role of an Operating Department Practitioner and give some insight into how we keep patient’s safe during surgery.
During many surgeries patients will be under a general anaesthetic, rendering them unconscious. We will be giving a demonstration looking at how we breathe for patients under anaesthetic through pressure/ volume control, with a brief overview of the anatomy of the airway and gas exchange.
Following this we will be looking at blood and how surgery affects its composition. We will look at “blood gases”, talking about haemoglobin levels and oxygen delivery. We will also look at the PH levels in blood during this scenario, how this may affect the patient and how we balance these to maintain homeostasis.
This session is aimed at students of biology to deepen their understanding of the subject and give real world examples of how their knowledge could benefit and even help save lives. Especially helpful for those looking into careers in healthcare. There will be time during and at the end of the session for questions and online interaction.

What we offer

We use labour market information that tells us about the local or national demand there is for different skills and from different industries. Labour market information tells us:

Which jobs are likely to be easiest or hardest to find in our area

Which are the big employers in different areas and which ones have jobs on offer

What skills employers are looking for and which are in short supply

How much you can expect to be paid in specific jobs

What working conditions are like

What qualifications will be most helpful if you want a certain career

What the jobs of the future might look like and which jobs might disappear

All of these factors can help you make a more informed decision about what career path to take.

What's the difference between the national and local labour market?

National labour market information tells you about jobs and industries in the UK as a whole, whereas local labour market information focuses on one particular area - e.g. Cumbria. When researching the labour market for specific careers, both local and national information can be helpful.

Looking at national labour market information will give you a good overall picture of the opportunities open to you in each career area.

When looking at your career options at school, it's important that you find out as much as you can about the industry that you'd like to work in. Knowing how much you'll be paid, how competitive the job market is and where most jobs are based can all influence your decision in pursuing a career.

How the Royal United Hospital uses this information in our Work Experience offer

The Trust offers a number of different opportunities in line with the Gatsby Benchmarks

Trusts SEND offerOur careers programme are:

Step-in, this is where our current provision doesn't offer any thing for those with needs that are over 25. The syllabus is strongly linked to 'employability skills' which is at the heart of the learners outcomes.

DFN Project SEARCH, we have been running this programme for over 15 years and have employed more than 52 young people who have an Education and a Health plan. The curriculum is developed with managers in each area and detailed in our curriculum plans for each intern.

These includes an employability qualification to show that they have the skills. This will also be backed up with a reference from the Trust, for any future employment opportunities that they undertake.

The programmes have trained staff responsible for delivery of education side of the programme and they have also got an allocated Job Coach, along with a placement supervisor.

Internship review meetings where interns discuss transition, employment, and study options.

Placements will vary in length for each internship. Project SEARCH will have 3 x 10 week placements developing their needs on each placement. Step-in will have either 1 or 2 placements of 10 weeks depending on their needs.

Collaborative working in support of LMI

We have strong links with our partners with the our system, where we work together by ensuring that the informed presented in the LMI for B&ANES and Wiltshire labour market intelligence are linked to those placement areas in key areas which are supported through vocational pathways.

Through our ambassador networks in the RUH, we provide support when applying for job and helping them understanding the job market

We offer this through school engagement opportunities

JCP Mentoring Circles programme

DWP Care leaver programme

Support to each young Person

With a focus on challenging stereotypical thinking and aspirations of disability and employment through our supported Internships. We have seen how wards/department have benefitted from having these young people in the Trust working.

Where possible the programmes we offer providing a person-centred focus on career development, placements which are linked to skills and their interests. This will also depend on any safeguarding requirements, as some placements areas will not be suitable.

Linking careers to syllabus

The employability pathways syllabus is linked directly to the work-based learning and placements hours.

Project SEARCH = 5 days a week (placements from 10 - 3 normally 5 days per week but will be reduced depending on interns needs)

Step-in = also 5 days a week (placements times are based on individual's needs)

Years 12 & 13 Work Experience is normally 2 days in general from 9 - 4. This may very to meet the needs of the area and the student. This can be over 5 days+ and may be broken over a number of weeks.

Career Evening for year 10+, runs twice a year from 5 - 7.30 to allow students to get hear without missing study time.

T-Levels students will be placed in those areas that they are studying to meet the placement hours that's required for that programme. This will be designed with the College and the placement area to ensure that learning outcomes are met.

Through employability programmes and talks with young people we discuss why English and maths and other subjects are key to employers. If any young person applies for a role, they will be offered to study English and maths if they don't have the required attainment levels on their application

We offer a number of tours and visits to the Trust and where possible we do ask some of the local employers to come along to those session. We try to offer a range of placements to our young people that is linked to their skills or to an interest. This way it helps to build the rapport with that person and allow them to see the benefits of what the placement offers

We also offer an open virtual WEX that we co-designed by all partners with the BSW, This helps to provide an offer to those young people who can't get a face to face placement

The Royal United Hospital is part of a number of different employer stake groups, to ensure that what we offer those young person leads in to employment or further study to help them to reach the carer aspiration. For example, working with WIN group as an employer to ensure that those young people who may not consider HEI is an option for them. Or working with FEI to ensure that the curriculum meets the needs of both us as an employer, the outcomes of their study and what their needs are.

We try to offer a personal approach to each young person who joins one of these programme. The main one who have a personal plan will be those on, DFN Project SEARCH, Step-in, Mentoring Circles and T-Levels.

Feedback happens on a weekly bases to ensure that they are meeting the requirements and exploring further opportunities in the area to help those who are looking for employment.

We are designing with our local FEI College a SWAP programme for young people who are ages 16-18 or have not been selected for interview to help them gain the evidence and the experience required to show during the interview process.

Work experience would ideally be related to the topics that young people are studying, however relatable experience would be equally as well received. This would include customer relations, time management, deadline control, and team working skills that are learnt through a number of different methods.

For the transition programme, the expectation of WEX is that you would be looking to participate in a minimum of 25 hours over the course of the programme. This would not only gain them the much needed experience before progressing onto the 2 years of the T-Level programme, but would also serve to give those young people a much more robust understanding the application of the skills that they are learning in their studies.

Across the two years of study of the T-Level programme, the WEX is a much more substantial element, and is referred to as the Industry Placement. With a requirement that they complete 315 hours over the course of the study programme. With this starting in the first year (approximately March), and completing towards the end of the second year.

For the purposes of the 315 hours, this would need to be undertaken with no more than two different employers over the two years. Industry placement officers are on hand to help to prepare them for placements, and would also help them in finding opportunities. Those undertaking Health related subjects are completing year 1 in the community, with their second year in the acute setting.

Biology: Genes & Ecosystems – Leopards, Predation & The Human-Wild Conflict With Dr Tara Pirie From University of Surrey

# data[].attributes.body
January 23 @ 14:15 - 15:00

In this  session, Dr Tara Pirie, Lecturer in Ecology and Conservation in the School of Biosciences at University of Surrey, will run an interactive talk for students on .
Dr Pirie will share cutting-edge research carried out into leopard populations and will consider the likely impact of the human-wild conflict on their genes and on the wider ecosystem. In particular, the research highlighted an issue with a reduced gene pool in the study area through the occurrence of a very rare colour morph. We will examine how and why this occurred and explore ecological aspects of why a predator is important for the ecosystem.
In addition, Tara will offer a fascinating insight into the research methods and equipment used to monitor populations and generate accurate and meaningful data.
The session will develop thinking, and highlight skills and approaches that can be applied to support students in their Biology studies and future aspirations.

Our student stories

During the programme, we have spent a lot of time in both teaching and PhD labs. This was exciting because I had never been to a lab before; it was also beneficial as it helped us become accustomed to the types of places where we would work and study at university.

Sameer University of Birmingham, Department of Engineering

It is one of the best things I've ever done in my life! It is the most productive, yet fun experience I've had. It is different every day, and we get to experiment and gain practical experience. Many university students may have really good theory and knowledge, but I will have great practical experience that is already proving to be very useful.
Ben University of Leeds, School of Chemistry

I am gaining a better insight into what it's like to be in a lab setting. I like the practical side of my placement. Working with professional scientists and seeing how they work together has been very rewarding.
Alima Royal Veterinary College

It's such a great opportunity, and they also give you a lot of support with workshops. It's not just placements, and they always follow up and help. On my placement I got to see consultants interacting with patients first-hand. Seeing the importance of communication and explaining to patients every step so they know what's happening.
Dhivya St Barts Hospital London

Oxford Centre for Human Brain Activity, University of Oxford
It's given me many more ideas about what I could do, things that I didn't think were available to me. All I could base my ideas on before was what was taught in school, but now I have real-life experience.

A CV, which stands for curriculum vitae, it is a document used when applying for jobs. It allows you to summarise your education, skills and experience

Why a CV?

Some employers will request your CV when you are applying for a work experience but not always. However, as you get older and are looking for work employers will more often want you to send them your CV.

Also, if you have your CV that is up to date then you can send this to employers and ask whether they have any jobs

Here is an example of a basic CV. When you are in Y10 and 11 you might not have much work experience to mention so you can focus on your skills and interests.

Our world is changing and we all need to do what we can to look after it. From recycling to avoiding single-use plastics, we're all doing what we can to mitigate the effects of climate change. Civil engineers are critical in the battle to tackle the climate emergency, plus they're supporting communities across the world by addressing the challenges of the United Nation's Sustainability Goals.

In this module, we'll be looking at how civil engineers are driving sustainability through different areas and approaches, and how civil engineering could be the key to a more sustainable future. With civil engineers at the heart of sustainability, we can all look forward to a brighter future!
