We welcome different placements at our Conductive Education centre, including placements for related degrees and courses, and also as part of Conductive Education training
Hannah
July 2026 saw us welcome our intern placement student, Hannah, from the University of Nottingham. Hannah joined our Support Services Team for a month and was a fantastic addition, supporting on fundraising, volunteering and at our Footprints Centre.
Hannah reflected "I have just completed a four week internship with Footprints and I have loved my time here! I have really enjoyed experiencing life behind-the-scenes at a charity and it has been so insightful. I have been working within the support services team, mostly helping with marketing and communications and I have also had the opportunity to attend a few events which I particularly enjoyed.
Everyone at Footprints has been so friendly and welcoming and I have really felt like a part of the team. I loved meeting everyone, both at Footprints and Pulp and Print. Working somewhere which serves excellent cake was an added bonus!
Thank you to everyone at Footprints! The work that they do is inspiring and I have really enjoyed being part of a team which works so hard to provide the best possible service to the children and families that they support."
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 volunteered at our centre on a Monday during our speech sessions for older children living with Down Syndrome.
Katie used to come to our Conductive Education sessions when she was younger and we're so pleased she joined our team, it was 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.
