WORK EXPERIENCE

Options for Life offers work experience placements to students at college and university studying health and social care.

This is what one student had to say:

June Orme came to Options for Life to gain work experience as part of her Social Work Degree programme.

 She said:  “I feel that Options for Life stands out in the standard of care it offers and in the dedication shown by staff.  The ethos to provide an enabling environment for participants is well established.  Participants are rightfully treated as individuals and shown respect. 

“From my experience I realised the importance of effective team work and multidisciplinary work, and how each member is invaluable in providing a quality service.  This experience will help me appreciate working in multidisciplinary teams as a qualified social worker.”
