\n
\n
\n
\n

There is no financial cost to an employer, the primary goal of a placement is to help a young person with learning difficulties to develop the skills they need for paid employment.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Will the young person fit in to my workplace?”][vc_column_text]\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The Job Coaches will work with you to ensure the best job match between the intern and you. We may also suggest ‘job carving’, which means working with you to tailor a role to best meet your business needs, whilst utilising the strengths and abilities of the young person.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”What happens if things go wrong?”][vc_column_text]\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The Job Coach will make every effort to match you with the most suitable young person, Contact the job coach and explain your concerns, so that any issues can hopefully be resolved quickly.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”What do I, as an employer need to do?”][vc_column_text]\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Employers need to commit to providing a high-quality work placement opportunity, providing effective line management and supervision of the intern as you would with other employees and allocate a buddy or mentor. Strong support will be provided by the job coach throughout the placement<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”What support will I receive during the internship?”][vc_column_text]\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

The job coach will work with you to arrange the induction and provide as much support as is needed throughout this time. As the young person becomes more confident and able, the job coach will gradually withdraw their support, you will still be able to contact them at any time if any issues arise.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Will a job coach just get in the way and be an extra burden?”][vc_column_text]\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

Job coaches are skilled in making their presence as unobtrusive as possible. They are likely to be around quite a lot to start with but this is helpful to the employer in getting the intern trained up to do the job and smoothing out any issues.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Will it affect productivity?”][vc_column_text]Employers who have previously offered placements have not found this to be the case. The job coach will work with the young person to ensure they pick up the tasks required, there is the added benefit of reduced workloads for the team.[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Will it take up a lot of time for me and my staff?”][vc_column_text]\n

\n
\n
\n
\n

You will be required to have some input, but that will be made clear from the start and will be reviewed regularly. The job coach will provide support to ensure it doesn\u2019t take up too much time.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Are there Health and Safety issues?”][vc_column_text]\n

Interns are covered by the employer\u2019s insurance as if they were an employee. The job coach will do an initial assessment at the job matching stage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/toggle][toggle color=”Extra-Color-3″ heading_tag=”default” heading_tag_functionality=”default” title=”Will I face some kind of equality\/discrimination challenge if I don\u2019t recruit the intern at the end?”][vc_column_text]\n

Employers are not obliged to recruit the intern at the end of the internship,although this is the ideal outcome it is not always possible.
