We pride ourself on personal development and continuous learning. This is at the heart of everything we do. We welcome and support young people to gain valuable experience of real-world responsibilities and work environments.
We offer work experience placements to provide hands-on experience with personalised guidance, to prepare students for their future careers in health care administration or patient-facing roles.
One of our recent work experience students was Guy, a Year 11 student from Holmfirth High. Read his reflective account below, which gives some insight into his time with us:
“Hello, my name is Guy Grieve and I spent 4 days doing work experience with The Grange Medical Practice in July 2024.
During my time, all of the staff where so kind and helpful while remaining professional the whole time.
I completed a variety of tasks, which as a student transitioning into year 11 gave me a good insight into the working world.
Also, as a young person being independent can be a challenge, I have found that at The Grange you are provided with lots of information to help you. For example, on arriving at the doors you are directed very clearly to the check in screen and reception. As well as an amazing reception team who are always happy to answer any more difficult questions or needs. I like the children’s waiting area which is friendly and welcoming, and I also like that there are televisions there for you to watch.
There are a variety of easy to read notice boards about relevant health topics which can be helpful if you’re worried.
Overall, I have enjoyed my time and would love to return at some point.
I would like to thank the Practice Manager, Davinder and the team at The Grange for letting me come and giving me a great experience. I would also like to thank Reception lead Naila, and Ellie from the reception team for teaching me and keeping me busy all week, and treating me like a peer.”
