Livewell is proud to support and facilitate student placements across the organisation for a range of courses and disciplines.
We have strong links with local universities and colleges and staff who will be best placed to source you a placement.
Profession Specific Undergraduate Placements
We have workplace agreements to support students studying at the University of Plymouth and Marjons. Placements for students on courses at these institutions will have placements allocated without needing to contact the links below.
Other institutions would need an honorary contract issuing as part of any placement agreed with us.
All placement availability is subject to capacity levels of our clinical services. Certain times of the year are busier and unfortunately not all requests can be supported.
