Kent Vocational Training Placements

If you're 14 to 19 years old and studying health and social care at school or college, you can apply for a work placement with Kent Vocational Training Placements.

We offer a variety of interesting work placements that will give you work experience in the last two years of your course in the different areas of social care including:

  • housekeeping
  • administration
  • catering
  • hairdressing
  • activities, such as bingo, karaoke, helping to serve food and drinks, horse-riding, cycling, crafts and music
  • working with a handyman
  • gardening
  • talking to people

We will match you with a suitable employer, depending on the area within care you would like to work. We will then help you draw up a personal placement plan to help you focus on what you would like to get out of the placement.

We hope that the placements will provide you with a taster of what it would be like to have a rewarding and enriching career in care.

Kent Vocational Training Placements (KVTP) is a three-year programme offering 170 placements a year, with the ultimate aim of recruiting at least 30 young people in to social care by the end of the project. It is run jointly by our Social Services and Education and directorates.
