Work experience events
QVH is pleased to offer work experience events onsite, where you have the opportunity to meet staff from different clinical and non clinical areas, and gain an insight into what they do and what opportunities there are. You will also have the opportunity to ask any questions about roles here at QVH.
Participants can expect to receive a variety of experiences relating to working in the NHS. It will cover both an introduction to QVH and the type of roles that you can find in the NHS.
Applications for work experience events will be considered for students aged from 15 to 18 years old, who attend school, college or educational establishments on the approved local schools list or live within a 10 mile radius of QVH [link opens PDF].
