Additional Information

Careers / Further study

• Learning Disability nurses are in demand across the UK. All our graduates gain employment and enter careers in a variety of roles for the NHS, private and voluntary sector employers, in community and hospital settings.
• Due to the needs of our service users, graduates often branch out into other specialisms, such as acquired brain injury, dementia and mental health care; adult or children's services; and specialist teams. With so many new doors opening, this is an exciting time for the learning disability nurse.
• Once qualified you can also combine clinical work with study on a post-qualifying course. By specialising further in a specific area, you can progress to more senior positions such as consultant nurse, nurse specialist, researcher, or local or regional services manager.

Get inspired:

• Our award-winning careers service will develop your employment potential through career coaching and find you graduate jobs, placements and global opportunities.
• We can also help find local volunteering and community opportunities, provide support for entrepreneurial activity and get you access to employer events.
• Visit our employability pages to learn more about careers, employers and what our students are doing six months after graduating.

Placements

• With two practice placements a year, you'll apply your knowledge and build your professional skills working with people. You'll have the opportunity to work alongside healthcare professionals and provide direct care and support to people with a learning disability and their families.
• We have excellent links with our local employers, and placements are normally split between NHS roles and positions in private or voluntary sector organisations.
• You'll get a broad range of practice experiences, putting you in a strong position for future employment in either a community or hospital setting. In each placement setting you'll receive support and guidance from supervisors and assessors.
• To expand your knowledge and understanding of the nursing family, two additional placements have been built into the Future Nurse curriculum. In Year one and Year two, you will be provided with an experiential placement for three weeks. Here, you will not be assessed but exposured to a different field so that you can develop knowledge, skills and experience to compliment your ongoing learning.
• You can also travel aboard across the three years.
• Year one and two: Undertake a two-week placement in Croatia working with other professionals to support children and young adults with autism.
• Final year: Take a four-week health or social care placement, nationally or internationally. Alternatively go to Finland, Norway or Dublin on a 12-week placement through the Erasmus scheme.
