Supporting learning, confidence and real-world experience
Download Placement FormPlacement Opportunities
I welcome both school and college students seeking structured placement experience across social care, property maintenance, cleaning services and community support environments.
A work experience placement gives you the chance to gain insight into working in the social care field and find out more about what a career in social care can offer you.
What Placements May Include
Due to the variety of work that is undertaken, there is an opportunity to gain experience in a variety of roles which are quite diverse, yet interrelated. Most customers require support in more than one of these areas, so no two days are likely to be the same.
Social Care
Observational learning and community support experience.
Property Support
Exposure to practical maintenance environments.
Cleaning Services
Understanding professional service delivery.
Community Work
Developing confidence through real interaction.
Safeguarding & Support
All placements are risk assessed, supervised and coordinated with educational providers and families where appropriate.
