Recruiting just one new staff member costs an average of £5,000*

It takes a risk with someone you don’t know well. If your intern is right for the job, you can bypass the crowded jobs market and simply appoint them, saving all that money and uncertainty. Hiring an intern who can do the job is positive action under the Equality Act 2010. They’re also much more likely to stick at the job, having already proved themselves. 

A supported internship could fill a post beset by high staff turnover. We select young people who are committed, loyal and motivated. They want to work! We can also help adapt your recruitment process and policies to make them more accessible, also at no cost.
