Careers Guidance
Maudsley and Bethlem Hospital School supports all its pupils to better understand the full range of careers opportunities available to them.
We provide an excellent and highly personalised programme of independent advice and guidance delivered by professionals with the relevant skills and experience. Our pupils are provided with support tailored to their unique circumstances which also considers their health and safety in their current short term hospital setting.
The school’s nominated Careers Leader is Philippa Levy.
The Careers Leader in conjunction with the teaching team works closely with our independent careers advisor, to ensure all pupils have access to independent careers advice where appropriate.
