Work Placement Programme
Candidates who are successful at Leadership Recruitment assessment centres will be offered the opportunity to be considered for paid work placements with our partner organisations. Scope and its employer partners offer a diverse range of roles.
Most employers require candidates to undertake a third assessment before offering a placement. This may be a short interview or may also involve a test depending on the role.
Once a placement has been offered and the trainee requires particular arrangements to be made such as equipment or facilitation, the scheme manager will assist the trainee to make a claim for support via the government-funded scheme called Access to Work.
Successful trainees are paid (and technically employed) by Scope, and are placed on a secondment basis to the employing organisation. There will be a standard Scope contract but Leadership Recruitment trainees are expected to follow the host employer's normal working arrangements and procedures.
At the beginning of the placement, managers will set clear aims, objectives and deadlines with the trainee. Trainees are expected to work hard, be conscientious and create a good impression.
Scope provides induction training and on-going support during the placement. Trainees are also encouraged to develop their own peer support network.
