We offer a limited number of paid work placements for participants that meet our strict recruitment criteria.

Placements vary in duration from 2 to 8 months depending on the start date. The average stay is 3 to 4 months.

​

Usually participants live with a host family on a self-catered basis near to the workplace. A commitment to stay in Kensho accommodation for a minimum of 7 weeks, payable in advance, is compulsory. If trainees wish to stay longer, housing fees can be paid to Kensho on a weekly basis by bank transfer. Alternatively, trainees can seek their own accommodation after 7 weeks.

​

Employees will be paid at least minimum wage and we ask all employers to provide at least 30 hours of work per week.

Participants have access to our Student Support Officers and 24-hour emergency phone number.

- availability over busy holiday periods (Easter, Summer, public holidays),

- a comprehensive CV detailing previous work experience,
