Our work experience programme aims to give individuals the chance to develop their skills and experience in a healthcare setting, supporting them to apply this experience and begin a career in the NHS.

Completing work experience with us is a great opportunity to get a feel for working in the NHS and find out more about the career path you are interested in, to make sure it is right for you.

Completing your application 

If you wish to complete work experience at the Trust, you will first need to complete an application form. This application is your opportunity to show us how work experience will help you to progress into a new or desired career path. This application will also allow the Trust to conduct the required checks before you begin your work experience.

Requirements

If you are under the age of 18 and would like to be accepted for the work experience programme, we will need full consent from your parent or guardian. This consent will be requested when your application has been received.

If you are aged 18 or over, you will need an up-to-date DBS certificate at the relevant level for the work you will be doing. 
 
DBS certificates registered with the update service are accepted. If you do not have one, our Resourcing Team will process this for you.
