We are currently reviewing our work experience programme. We will update this page when our new process is in place.
There are a wide range of jobs at the council which give you the opportunity to develop your skills and gain experience of working life.
What to expect
Work experience varies but it could include:
- preparing documents
- research
- shadowing experienced members of the department with their day-to-day work
- attending meetings or events
During your work experience, you’ll be expected to:
- get stuck in and contribute to the department you are working in
- attend work on time
- follow council rules
- be diligent about health and safety
How to apply
We welcome applications from students who live locally, attend a school or college in Elmbridge or who are interested in a career in local or central government.
Apply in advance. We receive a high number of requests, and it is not always possible to accommodate all placements.
Requests for work experience are temporarily paused.
