What you can expect from work experience with us
What’s on offer?
We offer two types of work experience.
Type 1 – Corporate Work Experience
Our Corporate Work Experience package is great for gaining experience in a variety of areas. You’ll spend time with different teams across the Council, meaning no two days will be the same!
Type 2 – Specific Placement
If you are interested in gaining experience in a specific area, or role, this is the option for you. You would be spending time predominantly in one or two services, being immersed in the work they do.
Please note that Type 2 placements are dependent on the availability of the service/s for the period in which you are applying.
What can I expect from a placement?
We know how important work experience is and want you to be able to get the most out of your time with us, giving you the chance to develop and practice key employability skills that will help you in the future, whatever career path you chose to take.
Forget making tea and photocopying for five days, we want to give you an authentic experience of our workplace. We’ll give you the chance to shadow, and work alongside staff across the organisation, seeing first-hand what we do and how we deliver services to our residents.
