Job overview

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.
