Applications for Project SEARCH @ Lea Green Outdoor Education Centre and Gullivers Kingdom September 2025 Intake are still open!
DFN Project SEARCH is a one-year transition to work programme for young adults with a learning disability or autism spectrum conditions, or both. Young people must be aged 18-24 and have an active Education Health and Care Plan (EHCP).
Everyone deserves the right to aspire to the very best future, yet only 4.8% of people in England with a learning disability go on to secure paid employment. We don’t think this is right and neither do the people we support and work alongside.
We partner with Gulliver’s Kingdom and Lea Green Outdoor Centre to provide a supported employment internship helping young people take positive first steps into the world of work. The aim of the programme is for young people to progress into paid employment, but this cannot be guaranteed.
