Progression in to employment

Managers, job coaches and our clients
The ultimate goal of our Supported Internships is to help you find work. Throughout your time with us our managers and Job Coaches will support you to develop your skills, knowledge and experience giving you an increase in your own confidence and capabilities. Our team will connect you with local employers and facilitate visits, trials and selection to help you transition into employment. A number of our enterprises also create paid opportunities each year for successful candidates in the form of our "Supported Employment" opportunities. The responsibilities within these opportunities require a greater level of independence, although for successful candidates a reduced level of Job Coaching support will still be available where required.

Where do we run Supported Internships?

Supported Internships are available in the areas listed below. We will be adding more locations to the list as we expand our programme. If you can’t find what you’re looking for please email us to find out if we are expanding to your area soon.
