Through bespoke programmes and meaningful, individualised work placements with 15 local employers, we support young people to develop the skills, confidence, and experience they need to succeed. Our on-site training café further enhances learning, creating real-world opportunities that unlock each intern’s potential and support lasting pathways into employment.

• Contribute to safeguarding and promoting the wellbeing of all students
• Support marketing and promotion, including social media content and maintaining online presence
• Build strong relationships with families, carers and external partners
• Take part in ongoing training and professional development opportunities
