Students aged 14 years and over
Block Week Placements
Work experience gives those interested in a career in the NHS the opportunity to experience what happens in hospitals, to observe the day-to-day work of NHS staff and gain an insight into the varied job roles vital to the NHS. It will give you an understanding of the attitudes, the behaviours and values that are expected in a healthcare setting.
Here at Medway NHS Foundation Trust, we offer work experience opportunities to students aged 14 years and over, in patient and non-patient facing roles, and within clinical and non-clinical areas. The placement is dependent on the age of the applicant at the time of placement. Please note only applicants over the age of 16 at the time of their placement will be considered for patient-facing work experience.
16 to 24 years with EHCP
Supported internships
We offer supported internship opportunities for people with learning difficulties and/or disabilities aged 16 to 24 with an educational health care plan (EHCP) and host placements for up to 12-months by working with a local specialist training provider.
The aim of the programme is to build work skills and support the intern’s independence to access employment. The Trust offers placements in a variety of areas across the hospital and works with Bemix to facilitate the education and work coaching to assist and build each intern’s knowledge, skills and behaviours within the workplace.
T-Level Industry Placements
We host T-Level industry placements for those over 18 years old within healthcare. We provide a minimum 45-days placement within the hospital to support the new knowledge, skills and behaviours taught in college.
Visit the MidKent College website for more information on T-Levels.
