When it comes to making decisions about your future career, nothing beats real life experience!

Work experience placements provide an excellent opportunity for you to gain an insight into professions within the health and care sector. They can support your career choices, personal development, and help build your knowledge and skill sets.

The Lincolnshire Talent Academy manages a wide range of placement opportunities on behalf of its partners, providing a central point of contact for all applications or enquiries.

We are committed to promoting the Disability Confident Scheme and as such, we welcome applications from people living with disability and can offer a range of adjustments and support as required.  Similarly, we welcome and support applications from people covered by all of the protected groups in the Equality Act 2010.
