Placement locations
Clinical placements are typically based in:

- Surrey (Surrey and Borders NHS Foundation Trust)
- West Sussex (Sussex Partnership Foundation Trust); very occasionally some placements are offered in East Sussex.
- A small number of placements are offered by smaller NHS Trusts and third sector organisations, across these geographical regions.
Placements are spread across an area of great geographical and cultural diversity, from metropolitan districts of London, through urban and rural areas of Surrey and Sussex down to the South Coast.
Trainees are expected to travel to placements across the region and travel within placements may also be expected. Trainees must be able to arrive at work at 9.00am and move between bases efficiently to meet service needs.
Consequently, subject to reasonable adjustments in respect of any disability, candidates must possess a valid UK driving licence which allows them to drive a motorised vehicle (including a moped)at the point of interview. Candidates must also have the unrestricted use of a car or motorcycle for work. Insurance details will need to be provided to the employing Trust when offered a contract.
