The Talent Academy concept was originally formed in June 2015 as an initiative by United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust to support engagement of younger people into its workforce.

Due to its success, the Academy evolved in April 2016 incorporating its Lincolnshire stakeholders to strengthen and support local partnership and the benefits of collaboration.  

Today, the Lincolnshire Talent Academy is an umbrella body made up of health and care organisations within the County.  Led by United Lincolnshire Hospitals NHS Trust, the Academy represents a wide range of stakeholders from the health and care sector.

What do we do?

The Academy delivers proactive services to aid recruitment and skills development of our current and future workforce, whilst also ensuring the portability and integration of skills across the health and care system.

As employers, we work with students, schools, colleges and universities in addition to other agencies such as the DWP to provide services for individuals from the age of 14 and above, all of which are delivered in partnership though our stakeholders.  Our remit includes careers inspiration activities incorporating the engagement of the education sector and delivery of careers guidance and work experience, through to the management of apprenticeship training and support for apprenticeship trailblazer standards development across our stakeholders.

With a common shared goal across all stakeholders – to adopt a “grow our own” culture within the county, the Lincolnshire Talent Academy provides the foundation for our collaborative approach to the engagement, recruitment and development of talent within the Health and Care community.

Our meats and vegetables are sourced locally, our fish comes from renewable sources and from the British shores whenever feasible. Our choice of wines is based on the recommendation of a sommelier to offer choices from the old world and a couple from the new world that would enhance our dishes.

We are part of Stagecoach Group which is a National and International Public Transport Operator. Our region covers Lincolnshire, North Lincolnshire, North East Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire as well as parts of East Yorkshire, Derbyshire and South Yorkshire. Our Head Office is in Lincoln and we move our customers around the region with connections to major cities as well as the many market towns in the area. Our local history can be traced back to the 1900's and earlier in some parts of the region. Our business is relied upon to keep the wheels of the region turning, be that for commerce, industry, education and leisure. We operate on 362 days of the year serving our customers throughout the area. 

The majority of our employees are drivers although we also have an excellent team of engineers supporting our operations. There are, of course, Managers, Supervisors and administration staff to ensure that the business runs at its best. Currently, we employ just over 1250 staff of which 950 are drivers. We need our drivers to be caring, considerate and understand our customers needs. They need to be ambassadors for Stagecoach becuase, to our customers, they ARE Stagecoach.

We are a good company to work for. We look after our staff and ensure that they are working in a pleasant environment. Every day is different with different customers, challenges and scenery!

We are becoming a more digitalised industry. We have Automatic Vehicle Locators which feed information to the website, which in turn, feeds the Stagecoach App, which means that our customers can see where their bus is in relation to the stop where they are waiting. We are currently launching Contactless as a payment method which should increase our punctuality and make it easier for both our customers and our drivers.
