This year, Dv8 students will be given the chance to undertake a mandatory work experience placement. We have some very valuable and exciting opportunities with local businesses and organisations. See below which organisations we are working with, and a bit about each one.

There is likely to be a lot of interest and competition for places, so please register your young person’s interest by filling out the form below.

HEALTHWATCH

Healthwatch is a community interest company (CIC), with a role to represent the views of people that use health and social care services in Brighton & Hove. The work experience placement would entail marketing activities, and information gathering for a campaign to share young people's insights on mental health services.
