Work experience for school and college students
Work Experience helps people prepare for professional study and their future career. It provides insight of what the job is really like, understanding of some of the demands and finding out if it is suited to them. It gives the opportunity to develop and demonstrate the values, attitudes and behaviours necessary to work in the NHS. More information about work experience can be found on the Joined Up Careers website. You can also find some useful information on the Health Education England website.
How exciting! We are honoured you have selected our Trust to complete some work experience. We are working in partnership with Joined Up Careers Derbyshire to offer this service.
