Trainee Life at Ransomwood


This week is the start of an interesting journey for three young people who are spending over two months gaining work experience at Ransomwood. They will be working with the grounds maintenance team learning practical skills and seeing first-hand how to manage a woodland environment.

Some of the tasks will be to complete footpaths in the woodlands which will help Ransomwood by increasing access and egress in to the green spaces for all the Tenants and visitors to enjoy.

This work placement is part of a Traineeship programme being run in partnership between the Inspire and Achieve Foundation and West Nottinghamshire College.  Aimed at 19-24 year olds who are not in education, employment or training the Traineeship programme runs over four months and helps the participants improve their English, maths, employability skills, and helps them gain substantial experience within the working world.

What’s great about this programme is that the partnership with the charity, The Inspire and Achieve Foundation, means that the participants are mentored and supported throughout the programme, and the host business have access to a lot more support than usually offered via Traineeships or Apprenticeships. Their involvement also enables young people who need the most support to access the programme and take huge steps towards gaining employment.  If a business is looking for new staff it’s a great opportunity to see a young person operating within the workplace before any commitment is made.

With a lack of work experience being the biggest barrier for young people when seeking employment, hosting a Traineeship can have a huge impact on the young person you work with. If you would like to find out more about Traineeships or about the work the Inspire and Achieve Foundation do with young people please contact Pippa on pippa.carter@inspireachieve.co.uk 07891 529797 or visit the website www.inspireachieve.co.uk

    This is such a beautiful setting for an office. Lovely & peaceful and the Ransomwood team are excellent! The maintenance team are always around if needed, great internet facilities and a fabulous café onsite too. I would highly recommend this place if you are looking for premises in the area.

    Still love to walk around. I used to live in the big house at the top of the drive, it was Oak House then and I nursed at Ransom Hospital , Byron Ward which was on the left side of Ransom Hall car park. Oak House used to be Sisters accommodation. I think the main chef lived upstairs when I lived there and just me downstairs mostly. I loved it but had to keep my kitchen door closed because of the squirrels. Loved looking down the drive out of my bedroom and lounge windows, beautiful in Autumn and when it snowed, I worked at Ransom Hospital until it closed in 1987. Wonder why Oak House was later named Ash House? Lovely dining at Forever Green in the grounds whilst I reminisce.
