Support for staff and students from the University of Derby

If you’re looking for support in helping your students make the right choice when it comes placements, or a student looking for advice on placement opportunities, we are here to help. By choosing to work within the voluntary and community sector, students can:

• Use placements to make positive impact on a local charity through specialist skills and knowledge

• Gain an increased understanding of how the voluntary and community sector works and what health and wellbeing support exists outside of the public sector.

• Get the opportunity to work with people with a wider range of health and social care needs, broadening practical and interpersonal skills.

• Strengthen future employability by developing a wider knowledge of working in different health and social care settings.
