Lighthouse Futures Trust is an SPI (Specialist Post-16 Institution) and a registered charity that was established in 2018. Our focus is on supporting young adults, aged 16- 25, to gain the social and employability skills they need to find and sustain paid employment.   Our purpose is to prepare them to be independent in life and develop skills that enable them to enter the world of work. We do this by offering bespoke pathways that empower them to build confidence, skills and knowledge – and ultimately, to thrive.

Our principle programmes are:   

Pre-internship: this lasts for 1 to 2 years and is primarily based on our college site but includes regular trips and business visits.   

Supported internship: this lasts for 10 months and includes 3 to 4 days a week on site with a major local employer   

Branching Out: this is a practical programme that lasts for 10 months which focuses on gardening/landscaping and other hands on roles.    

Working for Lighthouse Futures Trust is often fast paced but is always incredibly rewarding, helping create a positive future for young adults.

• Regularly meet with students to ensure appropriate ILPs are developed and clearly identify any at risk students to Line Manager and Programme Lead in a timely manner. Respond to any curriculum issues affecting programme delivery and student learning/training activities.
