How to get in touch:
WayFinder Specialist Employment Service is dedicated to supporting people with learning difficulties and disabilities into employment. We play a key role in assisting learners on Landmarks Specialist College’s Employability Pathway to develop the skills needed to secure work.
WayFinder aims to help people with additional needs and disabilities to overcome barriers to employment via Supported Internship pathways.
A Supported Internship is a programme funded by the Education and Skills Funding Agency for adults with special educational needs who want to gain experience in the world of work.
Each Intern will be fully supported by a Job Coach until such time that they can work independently.
This Programme aims to give the Intern real work experience that could possibly lead to voluntary or paid employment.
Who can access our support:
We support individuals aged between 16-25 with an Education &Health Care Plan (EHCP)
