RAMA offers placement opportunities for university students for up to 90 days as part of their work experience. In recent years, we have welcomed students from Social Care (BA and MA), Migration Studies (MA), and Refugee Care (MA) programmes.

These placements benefit both sides: students gain direct experience working with our clients, while we learn from their academic perspectives. Students also take back valuable insights into the specific needs of refugees and asylum seekers, enriching their studies and future professional practice.<\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMy placement began in April 23 and came to an end in mid July. However, I continued working with the RAMA team throughout my summer break period.
I want to share my utmost gratitude to all RAMA team members for the amazing work they all do. When I joined the team I didn\u2019t know what to expect as I have a very little experience of working with charitable organisations. I was overwhelmed with nervous feelings. After a day of placement I became ill and was hospitalised. This period of recovery made me rethink more about my own wellbeing and how I balance it with my work and learning. What was more positive about this time though, Maria who is the Operational Lead checked on me regularly despite barely knowing me.
The support and reassurance she showed made me optimistic about resuming placement with confidence.
Although I felt anxious being back, learning new skills, and being in an unfamiliar environment my colleagues and my OSS were supportive.
My lack of confidence didn\u2019t go unnoticed, however, I felt no judgement within the team rather positive regards and heart felt optimism for my development.
I gradually improved my performance and my confidence because of the inclusive culture that the team embodies. Maria\u2019s leadership is so exceptional, I have learned a lot from her and all the team\u2019s individual contributions have uniquely impacted my learning development. I have grown both individually and professionally and it\u2019s because of the safe environment RAMA provided. As Alexander Den Heijer said \u201cWhen a flower doesn\u2019t bloom, you fix the environment in which it grows, not the flower.\u201d
My message to the Team; Continue to do what you do best which is restoring lives, you are amazing and may the Lord bless each and everyone of you.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/div><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","meta":{"_uag_custom_page_level_css":"","site-sidebar-layout":"no-sidebar","site-content-layout":"page-builder","ast-site-content-layout":"full-width-container","site-content-style":"unboxed","site-sidebar-style":"unboxed","ast-global-header-display":"","ast-banner-title-visibility":"","ast-main-header-display":"","ast-hfb-above-header-display":"","ast-hfb-below-header-display":"","ast-hfb-mobile-header-display":"","site-post-title":"disabled","ast-breadcrumbs-content":"","ast-featured-img":"disabled","footer-sml-layout":"","ast-disable-related-posts":"","theme-transparent-header-meta":"","adv-header-id-meta":"","stick-header-meta":"","header-above-stick-meta":"","header-main-stick-meta":"","header-below-stick-meta":"","astra-migrate-meta-layouts":"set","ast-page-background-enabled":"default","ast-page-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"ast-content-background-meta":{"desktop":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"tablet":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""},"mobile":{"background-color":"var(--ast-global-color-5)","background-image":"","background-repeat":"repeat","background-position":"center center","background-size":"auto","background-attachment":"scroll","background-type":"","background-media":"","overlay-type":"","overlay-color":"","overlay-opacity":"","overlay-gradient":""}},"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-5872","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry"],"uagb_featured_image_src":{"full":false,"thumbnail":false,"medium":false,"medium_large":false,"large":false,"1536x1536":false,"2048x2048":false,"trp-custom-language-flag":false},"uagb_author_info":{"display_name":"ab@rama.org.uk","author_link":"https:\/\/rama.org.uk\/am\/author\/abrama-org-uk\/"},"uagb_comment_info":0,"uagb_excerpt":null,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/rama.org.uk\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5872","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/rama.org.uk\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/rama.org.uk\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rama.org.uk\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/rama.org.uk\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=5872"}],"version-history":[{"count":13,"href":"https:\/\/rama.org.uk\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5872\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6062,"href":"https:\/\/rama.org.uk\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/5872\/revisions\/6062"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/rama.org.uk\/am\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=5872"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
