Applications are now open for the Irish Hospice Foundation’s Transition Year (TY) Work Experience Programme for 2026.
This four-day placement gives TY students the chance to explore how a national charity operates and supports people facing dying, death, and bereavement. Participants will learn about real-world areas such as healthcare, communications, fundraising, and education, while getting hands-on experience with staff across different departments.
The programme will take place from Monday 2 March to Thursday 5 March 2026.
Students will gain valuable insight into the work of the Irish Hospice Foundation, take part in group activities, and hear from professionals working to support people during some of life’s most challenging moments.
Places on the TY Programme are limited to ten students. Applications should be submitted by 21 November 2025 to [email protected]. Successful applicants will be notified by 5 December 2025.
