Work experience
If you have never worked, or have been out of a job for a long time, doing a work placement can be a great way of getting valuable, up-to-date experience and better preparing yourself for the world of work. It will also improve your CV and can be a good way of making professional contacts that could help your career.
If you are seeking a work experience placement at Southend-On-Sea City Council, please contact The Development Team with your CV and indicate which departments/area of work you are interested in, along with start and end dates of the placement.
The Gov.uk website has a range of useful information about how you can set up voluntary work placements, and make sure you get the most out of them. If you are interested in working in the public sector, for a charity, or even for an MP, you also might find some interesting internships advertised on the w4mp website.
