Our Programmes
These are mainly classroom/seminar room based days which can include talks from healthcare professionals, activities and tours, and for students in year 10 - year 13 to find out more about careers in the NHS.
Placement availability is limited and demand for certain programmes is extremely high, so you are advised to consider your area of interest carefully and express this clearly in your application.
At CUH our aim is to widen participation for access to work experience. Therefore, when demand outstrips placement capacity, we will give consideration to:
- Care experienced young people (children or young adults who are currently looked after by the state, or have previously been looked after by the state)
- Young carers (a young person who helps look after a relative with a disability, illness, mental health condition, or drug or alcohol problem. This could be a parent or a sibling)
- Young people in receipt of free school meals
Please note we do not currently accept applications for year 10, or year 12 and 13 work experience weeks due to capacity. We do not support Year 8/9 Bring your child to work day in the Trust.
