Placements

We welcome different placements at our Conductive Education centre, including placements for related degrees and courses, and also as part of Conductive Education training.

Alex and Brooke
In July 2024 we welcomed our very first intern placement students, from the University of Nottingham - Alex and Brooke. They joined the Footprints team to work on Communications and Fundraising and were a fantastic addition, bringing creativity and invaluable support.

Brooke told us "my time at Footprints as an Income Generation and Fundraising Intern has been incredibly rewarding and enlightening.  I have had the privilege of witnessing the passion and dedication of the Footprints team first hand and the inspiring work they do to support children living with disabilities and their families."

And Alex said " I gained invaluable skills that will remain with me throughout my career while contributing to Footprints’ amazing work in the community."

Katie

      

We were absolutely delighted to welcome Katie back to our centre from July 2023 for a month, as she joined us for work experience, following the completion of her first year at college. And from November 2023, Katie is volunteering at our centre on a Monday during our speech sessions for older children living with Down Syndrome. 

Katie, who is now 18, used to come to our Conductive Education sessions when she was younger and we're so pleased that she joined our team, it's fantastic to welcome Katie back to Footprints!

Rosie

Rosie joined us for work experience at the start of July 2024, spending a week with our Education Team. Rosie is in the middle of her BA Hons Primary Education degree at Nottingham Trent University, and it was fantastic to welcome her to our centre for her placement.

Millie

In 2023, we welcomed Millie to our centre, a Nottingham Trent University student in her second year. Millie spent the month of March with us as part of her BA Hons Childhood Pyschology degree. Not only did Millie work in our Conductive Education classroom sessions, she also spent time learning about our wider charity operation, including Fundraising and Communications.

Please get in touch if you would like to consider a placement at our centre.  

“I’ve really enjoyed my placement at Footprints so far. It’s been fantastic to be part of the Conductive Education sessions and spend time with the children and families the charity supports. It’s great experience for me and will help with my Childhood Psychology University Degree.”
