Employer Relationships
LVS Oxford has several mutually beneficial relationships with local employers.
Our students get valuable work experience, and often full-time jobs, whilst our employers get an insight into putting inclusivity into practice by working with our neurodiverse students.
We are always keen to forge new relationships with companies and organisations, so if you are an interested employer please email Melanie Waller at melanie.waller@lvs-oxford.org.uk
Below are two of our current relationships with local employers.
Blenheim Palace
Blenheim has actively been working with LVS Oxford to help students overcome the unique difficulties and barriers they may encounter as they leave school and enter the workplace.
Eleanor Paice, Guest Services Manager at Blenheim, says:
“One of the most wonderful and rewarding things about working with LVS Oxford, providing work experience for their students, is to see them progress, grow and help mould them into the people they are becoming. It’s amazing to think we are making such a positive impact in someone’s life and are helping to break down any barriers that may have been created for them.”
Begbroke Playgroup
Begbroke Playgroup is a small and friendly nursery for children aged between two and five years old. It has been working with LVS Oxford for the last five years.
General Manager, Karen Smale says:
“It has been good to see how the students have gained confidence and really settle into the role the longer they are here with us. The children absolutely love them because the students always interact so well with them.”
Begbroke Playgroup has been so impressed by the outstanding quality of the students from LVS Oxford that Karen says they would welcome applications from school leavers for any full-time roles that may arise.
