    Brief

    Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council is commissioning a Supported Internship (SI) provider to deliver high-quality work experience programmes for young people aged 16-24 with an Education, Health and Care Plan (EHCP). The provider will deliver the DFN Project Search model at two sites: Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS Trust and Asda Superstore in Oldbury. The successful provider will: work with the local authority, host employers, education providers, and families to deliver inclusive, outcome-focused programmes; be registered with the appropriate regulatory body and subject to their inspection framework; help young people develop employment skills and progress toward sustainable work; and contribute to the local authority's strategy to improve post-16 pathways and reduce NEET figures. This is a key opportunity to support young people with SEND into meaningful employment while reducing long-term dependency on adult social care.
