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.
If you’ve been out of practice more than 2 years and are looking to return to clinical practice, you’ll need to spend a little time updating your knowledge and skills. First and foremost you will need to make sure you’re registered with the Health and Care Professions Council (HCPC)
Main duties of the job
0-2 years out of practice
There’s no need to update your knowledge and skills. As long as you’re registered with the HCPC you can apply for a vacancy on NHS Jobs straight away.
2-5 years out of practice
You’ll need to spend 30 days (or 210 hours) updating your knowledge and skills (private study can't
account for more than 50% of your time). You’ll then need to re-register with the HCPC
5+ years out of practice
You’ll need to spend 60 days (or 420 hours) updating your knowledge and skills (private study can't account for more than 50% of your time). You’ll then need to re-register with the HCPC
Working for our organisation
As an employer we are committed to the development of our Allied Health Profession Workforce and want to widen access and participation to opportunities for people who are passionate about an AHP career in healthcare. Importantly, we want to ensure we champion diversity and inclusion whilst doing so. With this in mind, and as part of a wider strategy to improve healthcare career opportunities for disadvantaged groups, we would particularly welcome applicants whose identity includes protected characteristics.
