Local students invited to NHS careers fair
Students over the age of 15 across Barnsley, Calderdale, Kirklees and Wakefield, are invited to find out about getting started in an allied health professional career at an event on Tuesday 3 December, 4-7.30pm.
The event is being hosted by South West Yorkshire Partnership Teaching NHS Foundation Trust who offer allied health professional careers in occupational therapy, physiotherapy, speech and language therapy, dietetics, podiatry, and arts therapies.
