Become A Trainee

Paperworks: Empowering Potential, One Step at a Time
At Paperworks, we’re more than just a business—we’re a Social Enterprise with a mission to create positive change. While we operate professionally, our primary focus is delivering social benefit, and as a registered charity, we’re driven by the desire to make a meaningful difference in the lives of those we support.
Our core purpose is to enhance the work skills and well-being of adults with learning and physical disabilities, autism, and mental health needs—individuals we proudly call our Trainees. We provide a nurturing environment where they can learn, grow, and thrive, progressing at their own pace while enjoying the sense of community that comes from working together.
A Unique Work-Based Approach
At Paperworks, we’ve created a truly unique, work-based environment where trainees take on a variety of tasks for commercial clients. These aren’t just training exercises—they’re meaningful roles that contribute directly to real-world business operations. Whether it’s assembling kits, packing orders, or managing stock, our trainees are involved in every stage of the process.
This hands-on experience is paired with a tailored training program designed to meet individual needs. To ensure a holistic approach, we supplement work-based learning with a dedicated well-being program, offering scheduled activities and project work throughout the year to support personal growth and happiness.
Empowering Trainees, Delivering Excellence
Our mission is to empower trainees by helping them develop practical work skills, build confidence, and experience the pride of completing tasks that matter. With tailored support, they’re encouraged to take ownership of their roles, whether it’s picking and packing orders, preparing shipments, or liaising with team members. There’s nothing more rewarding than seeing the sense of accomplishment trainees feel when they see a job through from start to finish.
Partnering for Impact
We’re fortunate to work with a diverse range of commercial clients, whose trust and collaboration allow us to provide meaningful training opportunities. Some of these partnerships span over a decade, reflecting the shared commitment to making a positive impact. Our clients take pride in knowing their work supports the development of our trainees, and our trainees take equal pride in knowing the value of their contributions.
By understanding the end purpose of their tasks, trainees develop a strong sense of responsibility and a commitment to the high standards we strive for in everything we do.
Together, We Create Brighter Futures
At Paperworks, every task completed and every skill learned is a step toward a brighter future for our trainees. By partnering with us, you’re not only supporting your business needs—you’re contributing to a mission that transforms lives.
