Our Route to Recruit Supported Internship empowering young people
Meet Diogo - he had begun his Route to Recruit journey as a Catering Stores Assistant with the Catering Department at the Royal Berkshire Hospital. Since starting in September, Diogo has made a great impression with his team and line manager. He is responsible for unpacking and sorting deliveries, stock rotation, and the general upkeep of the store room.
Diogo loves his placement, is learning invaluable skills and commented: “The best part of my job is that I am always busy. I am happy that I’m not just sitting at home.”
