Supported Internships for Employers

Helping businesses grow through a completely free service. 

Supported Internships Explained

Supporting young adults with Learning difficulties and/or Autism in a mutually beneficial internship.

We provide a free job-matching service to help employers recruit and retain people with learning difficulties and or Autism.

The Programme has been designed to help employers like you, to access a largely untapped local workforce.

Our interns simply want an opportunity to prove their value to you as loyal, dedicated and reliable employees.

bemix provides free, on-site support for your business and the candidate throughout the internship. This guarantees a great experience and outcome for everyone.

This programme is designed to ensure that the Intern AND the employer are fully supported and there is minimal impact on your existing resources.

We will work with you to identify and understand your business needs. We then job-match the right candidate(s) for the role and present these back to you. 

bemix arranges everything, including managing the interview process and the taster-days. This ensures the best possible outcome for you and your business.
