Looking for placement has been difficult
Hi everyone,
I've been looking for a placement that could offer face-to-face and it's been so difficult.
Not only that, my course has a list of requirements that I find hard to meet with placements
supervision needs to be provided at no fee
Insurance (though I think they are growing lenient with this given the fact that no placement actually does it now :( )
adult clients
and I have to be able to work in a person-centred way, the supervisor should be able to supervise me in that way.
I'm based in East london, and it's just been so disheartening. It's almost as if no placement could offer what I'm looking for, or out of london. Or they want second years minimum with at least 100 client hours! But why would anyone do a voluntary placement if they've got the hours?? Really confused on that tbh.
I've emailed/applied to so many its just been crazy that I haven't been able to find one or at least get an interview. I've been looking since January
I've been holding off joining the BACP student membership for financial reasons. But the course has said we'd need to try looking again for one to join in September they can sign off. Idk if I should join now or should try in August.
Any hope anyone?
