We’re a charity and social enterprise, made up of passionate people, who care about people. We exist to improve lives and communities by delivering services for socially excluded and vulnerable people to unlock their potential and open up new possibilities.

Our vision is that every person has the opportunity to be a full and valued member of a society where social exclusion and isolation no longer exist. It’s that simple!

Everything we do is centred on our core values - being innovative, different, creative, focused entirely on being helpful in everything we do, being passionate about the people we work with, our determination to tackle problems that others won’t, and working together as one team.

P3 services are highly diverse; we operate housing services, community-based support, advice and guidance service

Apprenticeships too!

At P3, we have a track record in supporting apprentices to gain their qualifications, on-the-job experience and in many cases, go on to permanent employment.

Not only will you get training as you work, you will also be able to study for a qualification in your chosen subject; earning while you are learning. We will provide you with a buddy who will support you while you settle into the role. They will be an existing member of staff who has experience in the area that you are working in.

Scaman's Eggs is a small, family-run business that sells quality, locally-produced fresh free-range eggs. The business, which has been running for five years, is based in farmland in Little Grimsby, on the edge of the Lincolnshire Wolds countryside. Our passion is for great tasting eggs, which are produced by our free range hens on the Scaman farm, where they can enjoy the great outdoors and lead long and happy lives. These eggs are then delivered to a variety of businesses across Lincolnshire and beyond, from farm shops, bakeries and retail shops to independent chefs, schools, restaurants and holiday parks. We're committed to excellence, and are proud to have been named Producer of the Year 2016 Select Lincolnshire Food & Drink Awards, and crowned Select Lincolnshire's People's Choice award winner 2017.

Scaman's Eggs currently employs four people; two warehouse operatives who weigh, sort and package the eggs, assuring quality at every stage, a driver who delivers the eggs to customers, and the Managing Director, Simone, who runs the business. From day one, our staff are encouraged to take part in training programmes, even incorporating other elements into training that would enhance a staff members career. Qualifications include Warehouse & Storage Skills, Manual Handling, Food Safety, Forklift Operators License, Team Leading and First Aid. In our staff, we look for team members who are hard-working, passionate about learning and care greatly for the quality that we produce.

The employees at Scaman's say they enjoy working with a great, close team and that they are lucky to have a good relationship with the 'boss'. As well as working hard within the warehouse, the team will attend local award ceremonies and events with Simone to show their commitment to the business.

It's a very eggciting time for the egg industry! In January 2018, it was announced that egg sales had topped £6billion for the first time in 60 years, with more and more people opting for a healthy, filling breakfast and brunch food. This followed the news that raw, runny eggs are now considered safe for expecting mothers, young children and the elderly to eat. This growing, positive news creates great opportunities for local egg producers and sellers across the UK.

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.
