A massive well done to Hamza who attended his first ever #interview today with PAS Data Quality. He has been working hard over half term to improve his interview skills but his confidence shone through as always! He definitely looked the part! #interview #supportedemployment

@MidYorkshireNHS Great to see one of our interns on My Role Monday! The link doesn't seem to be working though.

Welcome to MY Role Monday - the weekly feature where we shine a🔦on an individual member of our staff💙

A smile is always most welcome, it is especially needed in a hospital environment. Happily Komal is with us to dish them out every day!

A big well done to Zohayb for completing his first day at Starbucks! Zohayb is supporting the catering team at Pioneer building and has already mastered the till at lightening speed! #supportedemployment #internships

Sad to see the employment trend for adults with a learning disability continuing downwards. Only 5.1% of adults with learning disabilities aged 18-64 were in paid employment last year. Thank goodness @dfnsearch is helping young adults get into and retain paid jobs.

Last week our interns held a cake sale for #breastcancerawarenessmonth2021. They raised a whopping £105 in just 2 hours! Thank you to all the patients and #nhs staff who came along to support this brilliant cause.

Another intern has completed their first day this week! Matt is supporting the domestic team as a bedbuster on the wards. He's completing vital duties and is enjoying chatting to the patients and hearing their stories too. Well done Matt! #nhs #supportedemployment #projectsearch
