Work experience at Basildon Council
Basildon Council is committed to a policy of "opportunities for all" and offers a range of unpaid work experience programmes to help people without previous employment experience gain an insight into the world of work and the services provided by Basildon Council.
A typical work experience placement will see the trainee shadowing a Council employee to learn what their role involves, followed by an opportunity to put some of that learning into practice. Where possible this can include more than one job role.
Work experience placements normally last for 1 week.
At present we do not offer work experience to people who are not in full-time education or training.
Please note:
- All work experience placements are unpaid and do not guarantee that a job will be offered after the 1 week period.
