The Runshaw College Supported Internship Programme is a partnership between DFN Project Search, Progress Housing Group, Lancashire County Council and the Department for Work and Pensions.
A Supported Internship Programme is deisgned for young people aged 16-24 with an Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The goal of this programme is to support the transition from education to a position of paid employment (16+ hours per week).
The key focus of the Employability Coach is to ensure that the people we support:
* Have the opportunity to develop relevant skills for employment
* Gain work experience in a large business
* Increase their independence
* Achieve their aspirations
* Are empowered to make decisions and choices around their future employment
* Are kept safe
You will work alongside a tutor, supporting the intern throughout planned work experience within the host business/businesses, as they gain skills relevant for employment. The key outcome is for interns to access long term employment, either with the host employer or elsewhere upon completion of the academic year.
Closing date for this post is 12 noon, Friday 29th May 2026
