Work Experience
Work experience in the NHS is a fantastic way to gain insight into a particular career. It can also be a valuable way of getting some confidence and experience of working in a team and caring for people.
As a learning organisation, the North London Mental Health Partnership is always looking to support and nurture fresh talent who are exploring career pathways in healthcare.
Local residents to either partnership Trusts (Camden and Islington + Barnet, Enfield and Haringay) who wish to express interest for a work experience opportunity are more than welcome to apply form and the team will support however they can.
What will you get from this experience?
- On the job exposure with our colleagues in one of our many divisions
- Begin to build your network by building relationships with different colleagues
- A better understanding of the NHS and how it functions day to day
- Insight into the steps you should take to move into a particular healthcare career
What is the structure of work experience?
Successful applicants will be provided with a dedicated mentor who will be supporting them throughout the experience. The mentor would have created a bespoke timetable for the duration of the placement providing the applicant an overview of where they will be spending their placement and who will be supporting them. When applicants complete the application form, they will need to provide the dates they are requesting work experience for, and the team will try and accommodate these when securing placements.
How do you apply?
Please complete the Work Experience Application Form: Application Form - Work Experience Placement.docx and send it back to our work experience team on beh-tr.workexperience@nhs.net.
Please submit your application with as much notice as possible to enable the team to source a placement department and do the necessary checks possible.
