Work experience within the Department of Health and Social Care

Due to COVID-19, not all work experiences will be accepted and will be at the discretion of the ward, department or area. Thank you for your patience during these times.

If you are under the age of 18 then there may be a short delay in securing you a placement due to changes in policies around young people within the hospital as a result of Covid-19. We can however still accept your applications and can start to gather the necessary documentation in order that there is no delay once this framework is in place.

Please indicate the purpose of this work experience so that we can place you in the most appropriate place - if possible - to assist you in your chosen career. We can accept applications any time during the year.
