“It paves the way for our students to gain valuable work experience enhanced with a special timetable at College with different roles and flexible working times to prepare them for the world of work.”

Each year we visit the students at college to carry out a career presentation and evaluate the skills of those who are interested in a five day work placement with us – a valuable opportunity to experience one of the UK's busiest and most highly regarded spa beauty environments.”
