Student Placements

We have a long and respected track record of providing placement opportunities. These enable students following higher education programmes from Gloucestershire and surrounding counties, or staff seeking continuous professional development opportunities to spend time in one part of our services developing the knowledge and skills to enhance their practice. Social Work Degree, Mental Health Nursing and Health and Social Care students have all had successful placements within our teams. We consider applications for other students or practitioners requiring this type of placement.

We can offer regular supervision, a professional environment and in-house learning opportunities.  Within our staff team we currently have four Practice Learning Educators and are keen to build links with other learning organisations.

At Independence Trust we pride ourselves on being a learning organisation with high standards working in partnership with both students and educational providers.
