NHS Supported Internship

A supported internship is a great opportunity for you to gain real work experience while being supported by a job coach. You'll spend most of your time with an external employer in an extended work placement.

To make the most of this program, it helps if you already have an idea of the kind of work you'd like to do.

You’ll start by spending some time in the classroom, where we'll help you prepare for a placement that matches your goals and ambitions.

Throughout the program, you'll work on skills like CV writing, interview techniques, building confidence, and teamwork. We're here to offer you high-quality advice and guidance every step of the way.

The aim of the Work Your Way program is to help you achieve something meaningful by the end, whether that's paid employment, volunteering, or another activity that you’re passionate about. We’ll challenge you and support you to succeed.

While we’re based in Truro, we’ll do our best to find a work placement close to where you live.

“I have been supported with my personal independence, when I started the course I needed to be escorted on the train journey from Redruth to Truro, I now have the confidence to travel alone and my next step is to be able to buy my own tickets. I have also been able to live independently and move into my own accommodation.”
