Work Experience

Work experience at St Gregory’s

 

Work experience is so much more than just working for a business for one week in a student’s lower school career. It is learning from the world of work so not only are we offering virtual work experience to students during this year but we also visiting places of work within the students curriculum time. We have questions and answer sessions with different employers and understanding of the work of work during school trips. This understanding of the world of work enables students to be better prepared as they transition forward and enables them to make informed decisions, develop skills and become better prepared for their future careers. 

 

During year 12 the students attend a week long work experience opportunity as part of their career education programme within their time at the sixth form.

 

Work Experience at Allied Healthcare

We are delighted to announce that Allied Healthcare Mentor's next NHS virtual work experience session is on Sunday 6th November.
With the UCAS deadline for NHS Health Careers in January, students considering a career in Allied Healthcare need to gain as much work experience as possible. We strongly encourage all students (including those who attended October's session) to register. No two work experience days are the same.

Students can register for November’s session using this link: https://alliedhealthmentor.org/product/live-virtual-work-experience-programme/
This programme is suitable for students in years 10/S3/NI11 - 13/S6/NI14 who are interested in the following careers:

- Nursing
- Midwifery
- Paramedicine
- Physiotherapy
- Occupational Therapy
- Dietetics
- Radiography
- Prosthetics and Orthotics
- Speech and Language Therapy
- Pharmacy

Once they’ve registered, students will be emailed links to their virtual work experience portals.

Students are awarded a Work Experience Certificate for every session they complete. Those who complete the full 5-month programme will be awarded a Highly Commended Reference from the Presidents of Allied Healthcare Mentor. These are fantastic additions to their CVs and UCAS applications!

During the work experience day, students will follow 2 patients from their initial presentation to recovery. They will gain a unique insight into how patients interact with various healthcare professionals and what it’s like to work in an NHS multidisciplinary team.

Attendees will have the opportunity to interact with healthcare professionals throughout each day. This will empower students to make informed career decisions and demonstrate their commitment to healthcare in their UCAS applications.

Students can register individually at any time throughout the 5-month programme using the link below. We recommend booking early to gain as much out of this programme as possible. Places are £10 a session to cover administrative and technological costs.
