Northern Care Alliance Work Experience

Northern Care Alliance offers work experience placements for school and college students aged 16 and over who are considering a career in healthcare. The placements are designed to give you a real sense of what it is like to work in a clinical environment, helping you decide whether this is the right career path for you.

Placements can include both clinical and non-clinical areas. Clinical settings may involve Nursing, Medical and Allied Health Professional roles, while non-clinical areas can include Administration, Finance, Digital, and Estates and Facilities.

The experience is observational only and does not count towards a course or qualification.

Applications are only accepted during set seasonal windows across the year, so you need to apply in the relevant window for the placement months you want. Priority is given to applicants who live or are being educated within the trust’s postcode areas, and the trust notes that it cannot process applications from people who do not live or study in Oldham, Bury, Salford or Rochdale.
