Really hope some of you could help!
DH wants to become a teaching assistant, and currently has a volunteer placement at a local primary school. He'd like to end up working with children with special needs.
He applied for a place at a local college, but they've been being particularly obstructive (moving goalposts constantly), so there is no chance of him going to that college.
We've tried a college further away, but they'll only take him on if he finds a placement near to them, which seems a pain when he's found a school he'd really like to work with near us.
We've contacted the Apprenticeships organisation, but they've told him that he can't be a volunteer and do an apprenticeship, he has to be employed.
Are there any other options?
