The staff at the hospital are very supportive and will give you a great experience.
Dominic Skeoch works with the Apprenticeship Team and supports and teaches the Supported Internship which we offer in partnership with DFN Project Search.
The Supported Internship is a transition to work programme for young people aged 18-24 who have ann Education, Health & Care Plan (EHCP) and are keen to gain work experience and develop their skills to be able to get a job. With no exams or assessments, the Supported Internship is great for those individuals who want to gain transferrable skills and experience in the world of work, with support available throughout the duration of the course.
Dominic is the Suportive Internship Lead and he delivers the employability classes and supports the students on their work placements. He works alongside an Employability Coach, would also supports the students in class.
Dominic also helps with job searches, and with the initial creation of CV's. He helps the students with interview techniques, while they experience real working environments, and will even support students working towards their new jobs, once the programme is complete, through an access to work application.
My favourite part of the role is that I get the chance to teach students employability skills, supporting them with job coaching and CV writing. I also enjoy supporting the Interns whilst on their placement who may be looking and applying for their first job. I really love the idea of the programme and want to ensure that the Interns are supported the best way possible throughout their journey to work.
If you are interested in working but don't know what you want to do, or feel like you need a stepping stone to work, then the Supported Internship provides just that and a whole lot more.
The Internships work placements are currently available with the NHS at the Royal Lancaster Infirmary in lots of different departments across the hospital including:

Industry specific apprenticeships are a great way to learn new skills and knowledge, achieve a recognised qualification and earn a wage. Customer service is the corner stone of every successful business, and courses at LMC will help you identify, improve and introduce these skills successfully.
I love working with people of all ages and backgrounds and seeing them make progress and achieve their qualifications, sometimes in “small” ways, such as remembering how to do a written multiplication.
My favourite part of working at Lancaster & Morecambe college is watching students progress and supporting them with their learning. I also love knowing they are learning within a hairdressing environment and being able to see them develop their skills and knowledge in hairdressing.
Whether you're confident that you want to be a plumber/gas engineer, think you want to try your hand at it, or have no idea what you want to do - plumbing or gas work is an excellent asset for anyone to have. They're both great career options, loved by foreign countries if you're looking to travel, or at the very least will save you some money on a plumber in the future no matter what you end up doing!
I really enjoy being part of the LMC Beauty Team and working within the department. Watching my students grow and develop their ideas and skillsets week on week is a really exciting part of my role, particularly when I can see them challenging themselves to get creative and try out new and different ideas.
I enjoy sharing my knowledge and experience of animals with students and seeing a learners journey as they make progress. The best part of teaching the course would definitely be the experience we offer learners, it's a unique and hands on way of developing their knowledge of working with animals.
