Paid work placements

We have created fixed term employment programmes to provide opportunity to start in a role where there is no previous experience. During the placement, full training is given to offer valuable work experience, whilst receiving a wage.

On completion, those who have successfully taken part may be invited to stay on in the role. If this is not possible, our Advisers will continue to offer support to source further employment.
