Mencap Training Academy will be working with DFN Project Search and leading logistics company, GXO to deliver a new supported internship programme at GXO’s Iceland distribution centre in Enfield from September 2026.
Applications for the programme can be made using the online expression of interest form: https://trainingacademy.mencap.org.uk/supported-internships-pre-internships-EOI
There is an option on the form to indicate GXO Enfield as the programme respondents are interested in.
Mencap are planning the first assessment day with GXO on the 1st of July so are encouraging people to express their interest in the programme so they can complete initial assessments ahead of this date.
Working at GXO Enfield could be a great fit for young people who:
- Appreciate structure and like following a process
- Enjoy active, physical work
- Are interested in working with equipment and machinery
- Can travel to the GXO distribution centre at 5 Solar Way, Enfield. Mencap can provide some travel training to learners at the start of programme and people from neighbouring boroughs to Enfield who are able to travel to the site are welcome to attend.
Through other existing partnerships with Mencap, GXO have supported many supported internship learners into paid job outcomes, so this new programme represents a fantastic opportunity for young people with an EHCP looking for their first job.
