Information
The Covid-19 coronavirus pandemic continues to impact international travel; however, we are now able to receive enquiries and explore with you what placements may now be possible.
Your safety, the safety of our teams and those we serve is vital to us. As part of the application process, all applicants will need travel and medical insurance, and a standard background check. Applicants must contact their GP surgery to confirm the recommended vaccinations and medications for their placement destination and follow the medical advice given (unless exempt).
Applicants are also required to visit the gov.uk/foreign-travel-advice website to regularly check the latest information on traveling overseas. All UK government travel advice for a chosen destination is to be taken into consideration when applying for a placement.
Please be aware that placements may require an enhanced satisfactory criminal background (DBS) and are subject to the acceptance of a local team
Students Course Placements
If you require a practical placement as part of your studies, either in the UK or overseas, we may be able to offer you a placement that fits the criteria you need. Whether you are looking to learn about a specific culture, study a foreign language, or use your vocational skills, we would love to discuss with you what might be possible. We can arrange course placements of up to one academic year in duration.
