Project SEARCH Manchester
Project SEARCH is an
employment based education programme for young people with a learning disability, based at Central Manchester University Hospitals Trust.
Overview:
• Learners are called ‘Trainees’ as they are training to do real jobs within the Hospital.
• 10 trainees are offered places on the Project.
• We work towards an Entry 3 Certificate.
• Over the year, trainees get to try out 3 different jobs within the hospital.
Our goal is paid work.
Project SEARCH is
a partnership between:
9:00am Classroom session – working on portfolios.

Continue with tasks. Travel back to classroom at 2.45pm 3:00pm Classroom session – Journals
Chance to think about the day – what went well? What did I enjoy the
most? What did I learn? Any problems? Share ideas and support one
another.

Our timetable
Dragons Den
• We each did a presentation to a panel of Employers.
• It was a chance to tell them about our skills and experience.
• Some offered paid work or asked to meet us again.
The future...Some trainees have been offered paid
jobs:
Chris – Clerical Assistant at Manchester Royal Eye Hospital
James – Sterile Services Assistant
Michael – Catering/ Retail Assistant at Sodexho
• We are meeting with Managers from Central Manchester Hospitals Trust and external employers to identify paid jobs for all the other trainees.
• Trainees will still get support and guidance from Project SEARCH and those who have Care Managers can access Pure Innovations supported employment services.
