Work experience

and work related learning

We are committed to providing relevant and appropriate work experience placements across the Trust.

Work experiences are a vital part of the transition from education into the world of work, to experience new or different job roles giving an insight into NHS careers.

Furthermore, these opportunities are a valuable way of supporting the development of our future healthcare workforce enabling students to make informed career choices and support applications to higher education.

To make a request for work experience, students in academic years 10 to 13 must complete work experience – student expression of interest form and return it to: esh-tr.workexperience@nhs.net. In order to process requests, a minimum of three weeks’ advance notice is required from receipt of a completed form

Please note: Placements in some specialities are subject to age restrictions – available only to Year 12.
