The schemes aim to inspire future career paths available within adult community services. Placements are based across the four localities in the area Watford and Three Rivers, St Albans and Harpenden, Dacorum and Hertsmere. Many of our services cover 7 days and your placements may include a variety of working patterns.

Successful applicants will be well supported through a comprehensive induction programme, a buddy scheme and receive mentorship from senior clinicians. You will have access to a variety of training opportunities delivered through CLCH Academy and be part of a wider support network who will support you in gaining a wide range of competencies. There will be a range of different opportunities on offer to develop your skills.
