Harry’s story
Harry, who is studying BSc (Hons) Accounting and Finance with Placement Year, tells us about his experience on placement at the Northern Care Alliance (NCA) NHS Foundation Trust:
“I wanted to gain more experience and expand on what I’ve been learning at university to make sure that when I finish my degree, I’m as prepared as possible to join the financial and accounting world.
At a presentation organised through my course, I got information about placements at the National Care Alliance. After that, I applied for a placement role. There was an interview and now I’m here.
I deal a lot with the NHS PE weekly files. NHS PE is a standalone organisation that provides medical and agency staff. They send me an invoice for the shifts staff have worked, and I manage the cost centres, data and formulas, send these to each care organisation, then post a journal to get it on the ledger. I love it. I enjoy the responsibility. There are weekly deadlines to keep on top of, but I feel like I’m learning a lot.
I can’t stress enough how much I recommend doing a placement. You need to go in with the right attitude, but if you do, you’ll gain skills you didn’t know you needed to learn. You get a real grasp of the working world, and it gets you into successful working habits. It’s been rewarding and challenging – but most importantly, really enjoyable.”
