Our Drax summer 2024 work experience placement vacancies are now live for young people aged 15-18 to apply. We are inviting all eligible young people to come on one of 5 set weeks to their closest site location in England. This year we’re planning for a week to include a short welcome to the company, HSE guidelines, a welcome lunch on the first day with their manager, a short group project, and career building CV and interview skills. We are also pledging to offer free lunches for all students successful to take part. Once again this year we plan to offer the £100 bursary for those attending the full week.

  Preparing to Work in Health and Social Care
 
YEAR 12 HEALTH & SOCIAL CARE WORK EXPERIENCE
  
Six of our Year 12 Health & Social Care students have had the wonderful opportunity to spend a week block at work placement this term, gaining fantastic, relevant experience to supplement their A Level studies. 
Organised by Health & Social Care Teacher, Susie Pollard students have been placed in pairs at the Academy For Dementia Research & Education (ADRE).  ADRE is based on the Lutterworth College site and works in partnership with the school to promote life-long learning opportunities for ADRE members and college students.  Ms Pollard has been working hard behind the scenes to support her students with gaining invaluable work experience and also recently arranged for ADRE Director & Project Manager Jane Beaumont to visit Lutterworth College and speak to the Year 12 Health & Social Care students about her work at ADRE.  
We have also had a number of Year 12 students join additional local employers for a week block of work experience, including schools & nurseries.  Work experience looks fantastic on job and university applications and is hugely beneficial in so many ways.  A huge thank you to all the local businesses who have supported with the programme.

 LEBC are really excited to be able to share with you our video for our virtual work experience programme. Please follow this link https://www.leics-ebc.org.uk/Young-People-Parents-and-Guardians/virtual-work-experience to watch!

The Medic Portal | Student

We are incredibly excited to let you know about our in person and new virtual work experience programme.

We are all aware that getting work experience is a huge challenge for aspiring medics and this has been largely compounded by COVID. We are therefore delighted to have a genuinely brilliant solution. 

We have partnered up with Kissing It Better, a leading charity who have been recognised by NHS England and the BMA. They have recently been featured heavily on the news for their excellent work in supporting older, isolated people in Care Homes. 

Through our joint programme, we will be giving students the opportunity to connect with these people through Zoom coordinated sessions to build up the key skills they will need during their medical training and career, while also importantly supporting a vulnerable demographic. 

Alongside the live Zoom calls, there will be a suite of learning modules to help students get the most out of this unique volunteering opportunity.

We anticipate this programme being taken up by thousands of students globally as we are inundated with requests daily. The programme will be running in different countries, such as Australia, and live Zoom sessions will be taking place to accommodate for global time zones.
