Opportunities at Wytham Hall
For Medical Student/Junior Doctors
We would like to hear from medical students and junior doctors interested in spending time at Wytham Hall. We are an innovative project providing residential, social and medical care to the homeless in London. Priority is given to students who attend on a special study module from a University with which we have an established link. Successful applicants will be given an opportunity to spend time with residents of the recovery unit and of our three move-on properties in order to gain an increased understanding of the issues facing this vulnerable and complex group.

They will also be expected to monitor the progress of individual patients, assist with admissions and take histories of new residents under the supervision of one of our resident doctors. Regular visits to the Great Chapel Street Medical Centre, a walk-in surgery for the homeless, are also part of the student programme. On-site accommodation is available at a small cost and applicants are encouraged to be resident at Wytham Hall for the duration of their program in order to become fully involved in our community. |
Short Placements
To obtain basic understanding of the work we do at Wytham Hall a minimum stay of two weeks is advisable.
Student Electives
Month-long residential placements enable the students and junior doctors to actively participate in our work with the residents of both Wytham Hall and our Supported Housing. Visiting other homeless agencies and undertaking an element of elective study or related research are also recommended.
Longer Term Placements
The students or junior doctors who demonstrate a sincere commitment to the care of the homeless may be given an opportunity to play an active part of the community at Wytham Hall by spending an extended period of time with us whilst conducting their study, research or work.
Further details are available on our Annual Report or on the Great Chapel Street Surgery.
Please contact us if you are interested in any of the above opportunities.
