Return to Practice Placement – Allied Health Professions

Leeds and York Partnership NHS Foundation Trust

The closing date is 20 May 2024

Job summary

We offer voluntary clinical placement opportunities across our mental health and learning disability services. Applicant preferences will be taken into account. Overall we want to ensure we offer you a quality return to practice placement that will provide a broad range of learning opportunities for any AHP looking to pursue a career with Leeds and York Partnership Trust. Once your application has been reviewed, there will be an opportunity to have a career discussion with one of our AHP leads to plan your placement.

If you've been out of practice more than 2 years and are looking to return to clinical practice, you'll need to spend a little time updating your knowledge and skills. First and foremost you will need to make sure you're registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)
