About this Role

Overview

As the Transition Lead, you will play a vital role in ensuring a positive transition into the Supported Internship Programme and a smooth, well-supported transition out into employment, volunteering, or an apprenticeship. You will work closely with our interns, host employers, and the Buckinghamshire Supported Internship team to provide coordinated, person-centered support throughout each stage of the programme.

Transitions can often be a source of anxiety for SEND young adults, you will be responsible for developing innovative strategies and processes that minimise barriers and promote confidence. Your expertise, guidance, and proactive problem-solving will be essential in enabling interns to achieve successful outcomes while fostering their personal growth, independence, and long-term employability.

What is a Supported Internship

The Buckinghamshire Adult Learning Supported Internship is a partnership venture which prepares young people with disabilities for competitive employment.

We provide young people a springboard from education into the world of work, the supported internship is bespoke for each intern and is designed to develop transferable skills, knowledge and attitudes in preparation for paid employment. Through specialist training and direct work placements interns will develop employability skills, self-confidence, job specific skills whilst working alongside employees in a real employment setting.

The structured vocational programme, led by a team of qualified tutors runs from September to June and is based at Buckinghamshire New University in Aylesbury. Interns will study a Prince’s Trust Level 1 or 2 Personal Development and Employability qualification.

We also offer interns the opportunity to study functional maths and English at E3 – L2. Interns will also undertake a programme of bitesize training such as digital skills, self- management and communication skills delivered by the Job Coach, tutors, speech & language therapist and external guest speakers. These invaluable employment skills enrich the learning experience for each intern.
