Proud to Care 

Here is the link to our work experience section of the Proud to Care website.  There are links there that students can use to contact NHS Trusts and find out what their offers are around work experience.  Obviously at present, this has been paused because of the increased risk with the pandemic, but hopefully Trusts will be able to welcome students in at some point next year, depending on how the situation pans out.

Our website also has some great case studies from real people in Devon, from a variety of careers and backgrounds, on our We Care page, which can be a great inspiration for young people thinking of a career in the health and care sector, as well as a wealth of careers guidance and advice on our Careers page.
