Success introducing T level placements
In partnership with Cirencester College, we launched a pilot project offering Health T-Level students the chance to complete their industry placements in our adult social care respite services—supporting adults with learning disabilities and complex needs.
These placements have brought real value to both students and services. Here’s how:
- Inspiring future careers
Encouraging young people to explore rewarding careers in health and social care. - Extra support for guests
Students bring energy and empathy—especially connecting well with younger guests. - Supporting qualifications
Helping students gain hands-on experience that counts toward their T-Level. - Fresh ideas and innovation
Students bring new perspectives, creativity, and enthusiasm to our teams. - Mentoring opportunities
Staff get the chance to mentor and share their expertise—building confidence and leadership skills.
What our students say
“I chose a T-Level in adult nursing because it’s a great pathway into university. My placement in respite services has given me real experience supporting vulnerable individuals—and it’s helping me prepare for a future role as a social worker.”
“I’ve really enjoyed working with the residents and the team at the day centre.”
“It’s a really rewarding job. I love doing activities with the guests. It’s actually turned out even better than I expected!”
