If you’re interested in a career in Nursing, Medicine, Allied Health, Corporate or Support Services, but are not sure if it’s for you, or not sure where to start, then doing some Work experience with us could be just the thing.
Work Experience is for all ages, not just for school children, and can be a great way for anyone who is wanting to join the NHS to gain some exposure, experience and knowledge of the area or role they would like to work before applying for a job.
There are age stipulations of 18 years and over for some services, due to the challenging or distressing nature of patients.
We offer Work experience placements across all areas, both clinical and non-clinical, and it can be from as little as one day up to one week.
How to Apply for Work Experience
To apply for work experience please visit the CARE4Notts (Careers Academy Representing Everyone) website: https://care4notts.org/work-experience/
Due to the demand, placements are restricted to Nottinghamshire residents and to those who study full-time in Nottinghamshire.
