We’ve worked with lots of different organisations and freelancers on work experience placements over the years including the V&A Museum, Time Out, BBC Studios and Curtis Brown.
Work experience runs online and on-site for 5-10 working days, in the summer and October half term. You can support between one and four young people!
What we ask from organisations for on-site work experience:
- sign and adhere to our code of conduct
- provide expenses if the placement is for five working days. We ask that anything longer is paid at general living wage
- fill out a short risk assessment
- send us your Employer’s Liability Insurance number
- have an informal interview with the young person
What we ask from organisations for online work experience:
- sign and adhere to our code of conduct
- read our online safeguarding procedures
- process a DBS
- have an informal interview with the young person
Arts Emergency will be there to support the placement throughout and will provide a guidance pack on how it works.
If you are a mentor and can find work experience for your mentee through your own networks, that’s great! We will need the organisation to send us a risk assessment and their Employers Liability Insurance number.
