Please note: All non-medical work experience has been suspended until further notice due to the ongoing pandemic.

Work experience placements at the Trust provide an excellent opportunity to gain insight into professions in the NHS.

They can support career choices, personal development, and help build your knowledge and skill sets.

Clinical placements are in areas where patients are directly receiving healthcare; for example bedded units, healthcare centres and the patients home.

Non-clinical placements include areas such as Human Resources, Patient Engagement, Patient Safety, Education and Training (the Academy), Information Technology, Estates and Facilities.

Eligibility

To be eligible for either of these types of placement you must be in year 10-13 year group and living, or studying, in the Boroughs where CLCH services are delivered.
