Showcasing Greenwich’s Impactful Paid Placement Scheme

# data[].attributes.body
As part of our recent filming with Greenwich, we highlighted the strength and success of their paid placement scheme, which partners with a wide range of employers to create meaningful six‑month opportunities. The programme has been especially powerful for priority groups such as those long‑term out of work, care leavers, unpaid carers, SEND students, over‑50s, and NEET individuals. One standout example came from a participating employer, who explained that the funded placement enabled them to bring in two additional team members known internally as “heat doctors” and significantly expand their capacity. This demonstrates how the scheme not only benefits participants but also supports local businesses to grow, making it a valuable, sustainable initiative for the wider community.
