Last week Sodexo at Hereford Hospital welcomed three Beacon College interns to join their team taking part in their Supported Internship as part of DFN Project Search!

 

DFN Project Search is a national charity that enables young adults who have a learning disability or autism spectrum condition to secure meaningful permanent employment with support from our Job Coach Sam Rodgerson. 

 

The Accordia Academies Trust team have been working closely with Sodexo and Project Search colleagues to ensure a successful launch of this exciting programme. 

 

During their first week the interns completed their induction, met their buddies, had a hospital tour and completed other onboarding activities.

 

Each term the interns will rotate through the Sodexo teams within retail, patient dining and domestics services, working full time at Hereford Hospital across the entire academic year. 

 

It is great to work with partner organisations who are able to support such a worthwhile initiative and we wish our interns every success in their roles!
