Work Experience
Thank you for your interest in completing your work experience placement at YMCA Fairthorne Manor. We have been approved by Education Business Partnership, Solent Skill Quest Limited and Trident from Edexcel to deliver work experience placements and full health and safety checks have been undertaken. Please ask your work experience co-ordinator if you would like a copy of these documents. If you are arranging your work experience independently please follow the numbered steps below.
We are able to offer placements throughout the year across a number of departments, although places are limited as we want you to get the most out of your placement with us.
If you would like to complete your placement with us and you are arranging it independently please:
- Call us to check availability. Ring 01489 785 228 and ask for Maxine Reeder or Claire Percival
- If you are verbally offered a placement you will need to confirm in writing (either a letter by post or by email).
- Assistant Activity Instructor (click here for the Job Description)
- Assistant Housekeeper (click here for the Job Description)
- Assistant Estate Worker (click here for the Job Description)
- Assistant Nursery Nurse (click here for the Job Description)
You may be asked to attend a short interview before your placement is confirmed by us in writing. This will be discussed when you call to check availability.
You will need to attend a health and safety briefing and site tour before your placement begins. This will take approximately 2 hours.
