Careers in NHS Finance, Procurement and Digital


Are you a year 2 student looking for work placement opportunities?

Through the Skills Development Network, placements are available in NHS Finance, Procurement or Digital departments. Every year NHS organisations across the country offer one year work placements to year 2 university students who are studying relevant degrees such as accountancy or business for example.

Typically, placement students get to undertake a variety of duties in their chosen department – it’s an opportunity to put the theory you’re learning at university into practice in a real world environment. Placements generally start in the summer and finish the following summer, offering you plenty of opportunities to gain skills and experience.

NHS departments tend to be busy and fast moving and you’ll get a glimpse of what life is like in the NHS. Many of our undergraduate placement students return to the NHS after graduation or apply to one of our highly regarded NHS Graduate Training Schemes.
