Course Information

Run in conjunction with Harrogate and District NHS Foundation Trust.

The programme follows the pattern of the academic year, starting in September and running till midJuly. You will have the usual college holidays, but unlike most of our courses which span 3-4 days, the Supported Internship runs Monday to Friday 9am-4pm.

The programme generally includes three different rotations within the hospital. A typical day starts with a general catch-up and some work on employability skills – this is led by the college’s coordinator and supported by a job coach. You will then go to work in your allocated department from 10am and finish at 3.30pm, and then go back to your base room for a daily debrief with the job coach and college coordinator.

You would normally be placed in a different department to other interns so you feel like part of that team rather than a group of college students on a work placement.
