The Process
How it works
Get in touch
Reach out via our contact page or email us directly. Tell us a little about your business and why you're interested in partnering with Real Hope.
Meeting
Sangeetha Joseph, our placements manager, will meet with you to understand your team's needs and walk you through how placements work in practice.
Match
We match you with a graduate whose skills and background suit your environment. You meet them before any placement begins — no surprises.
Host
Your graduate joins your team for the placement period. We stay in close contact throughout and handle any support needed, from you or from them.
Good for your business,
great for Leeds
Meaningful community impact
Directly contribute to changing someone's life. Your business becomes part of a story of real hope in Leeds.
Skilled, motivated people
Our graduates arrive having completed professional barista training. They are ready to work and eager to prove themselves.
Full support throughout
Sangeetha coordinates everything. You won't be left to manage the placement alone — we're with you every step of the way.
Positive brand association
Align your business with a cause that matters. Our partners are recognised as community champions across Leeds.
Ongoing relationship
Many partners go on to employ graduates permanently or host multiple placements. The relationship doesn't end when the placement does.
No cost involved
Voluntary placements mean no recruitment fees. Just your time and workspace — and the satisfaction of making a genuine difference.
