Intern Programme

The BHT Intern Programme is an employability training programme with a significant six-month work placement attached to it.

We have a range of Intern opportunities in our services in Brighton, Eastbourne and Hastings, as well as placements within a number of local organisations.

If you are looking for opportunities to gain work place skills and experience then the Intern Programme could be for you! The programme will provide you with a work placement, training and support from your own dedicated Mentor.

BHT Case Studies

Charlie

For most of us we get our identity and status from what we do. BHT’s Intern Programme was set up to prepare people with a history of homelessness, mental ill health or addictions to make that transition from unemployment into work.

Charlie is a 32 year old white British male. He was born with congenital hand deformities, as well as structural defects which cause lifelong incontinence issues. Charlie was bullied during his school years and began using alcohol and cannabis aged 14. In his early 20’s he found employment as a telesales advisor and an early year’s child practitioner. However, each job didn’t last more than 12 months due to his increasing substance misuse.
