Our department runs a voluntary work placement scheme which helps students to find and prepare for part-time psychology related voluntary work. We work with a number of organisations within the scheme, including:
We also work with clinical psychologists at the South London and Maudsley NHS Trust who offer two to four placements per year.
Students are not required to take part in the scheme but we recommend that they do and as early as possible as the benefits are numerous. Participating in the scheme strengthens their overall profile and increases their eligibility for future graduate psychology related work and postgraduate professional training.
- Chad ShepherdI realised that to have any kind of start in a career in Psychology work experience is regarded as equally important as a good degree mark. When a placement was offered through the LSBU Psychology faculty for an honorary assistant psychologist, I took a running jump at the chance.
Our dedicated work placement tutor, Dr Antony Moss, helps and advises on the type of work placement students should take according to their career goals and personal abilities.
