I'm currently a student midwife in my final year studying in London, but my family is back in Wales. As part of my course, I have to complete 22-23 weeks of placement, which adds up to around 2400 hours over three years. Classes wrapped up around April-May, and now I'm in my last placement block until September. The challenge is that while most students head home for summer, I have to stay for my placement, but my university accommodation expects everyone to vacate by early August. This has been a struggle for the past few years, but this time I can't afford to pay for summer accommodation using my student finance like I did previously. My placement schedule is demanding, with 3-4 days a week, totaling 34.5-46 hours, and I often find myself waking up at 5 am and getting back to my dorm by 9:30 pm. I've been actively searching for jobs for nearly four years now, using various websites and apps, and even visiting stores and restaurants in person to hand out my CV. Just yesterday, I called over 40 stores to inquire about job openings, but unfortunately, I haven't had any luck. Finding a job that fits around my placement hours is incredibly tough, and the job market feels very competitive. I do have family in London, but none of them can accommodate me until November when I graduate. My teacher mentioned that I might need an additional six weeks of placements to meet my qualification requirements, which adds to my stress about housing. My roommates are looking for a place together, but I'm the only one without a job, making it hard to contribute to bills. I've asked them to keep an eye out for job openings at their workplaces. When I'm not at placement, writing essays, or attending classes, I'm searching for work. I'm feeling overwhelmed and would appreciate any advice or leads on job opportunities in London. Thank you.
