Placements
We also offer adult placement opportunities to help people enhance their career, do research or develop themselves. People on placements do not receive payment from Belfast Trust.
How to apply
If you wish to apply for an unpaid development placement, please contact the relevant service area to discuss your request. If the placement can be arranged, you will be asked to complete a placement agreement pack and submit it to the service manager. You may need to submit specific documentation relevant to the placement.
For some placements, it may be necessary to carry out an Access NI or police check before the placement agreement is issued.
We agree to as many placement requests as possible. However, demand can be high in certain areas. You can download our Placement Activity Policy.
