Dominic Skeoch
Supported Internships
September 2022
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:
- Catering
- Portering
- HR
- Maintenance/Facilities
- Healthcare Assistants
- Sterile Services

YOUR TUTOR(S)
If you are interested in working with animals, this is a great course for you! As not only do you gain the knowledge and practical skills to work with animals, but you also gain the employability skills to be able to work in teams and work within the industry. It's important to remember that jobs in the animal industry are not just about working with animals, you need to have the skills to deal with people too!
We have a very knowledgeable and dedicated team from different areas of the animal industry. We offer a range of courses in Animal Studies at different levels to cater for a wide range of students. Practically, you will work with a range of animals on site, spend time in our laboratories and hone your skills further during independent work-related experience. Working with animals can be a fun and rewarding career but it does involve hard graft and dedication!
My favourite aspect of my role is seeing learners who struggle to believe in themselves when they first begin their journey at LMC, but eventually realise that they are very capable. It is a lightbulb moment when they realise they can be or do anything they want to. Learners walk through our gates unsure of themselves and sometimes struggle to believe in their abilities, but by the end of their journey they walk out of LMC confident and ready to take on the world.
My favourite part of the role is guiding my students through the more practical aspects of Forensic Science, especially latent fingerprint collection and evidence handling. I enjoy watching them develop their confidence and skills in these techniques
Behind every great business is a fantastic accountant! AAT qualifications are highly valued and they can really push you to achieve great things in your career. The whole team at LMC are dedicated and excited about giving you the best possible start in your new journey!
If you are interested in finding out more about how children learn and how we best support them, are considering a career in education, child psychology or social work put LMC at the top of your list! We have excellent industry links for placement experience and combined with our experienced and highly qualified lecturers, we can give you a real edge in the world of work or applying for university.
