Work Experience
I offer work experience opportunities to students from the Faversham and Mid Kent constituency. The placement gives young people an insight into local politics and a chance to boost their skills. Students will be able to help with a number of tasks:
- Casework, depending on the age and ability of the student
- Researching an issue
- Press monitoring
- Writing press releases
- Accompanying me to a meeting or event in the House or in the Constituency
- Assisting with office duties
- Answering queries from constituents
Please note that we get a high volume of requests for work experience. Unfortunately, it’s not possible to accommodate everyone who applies. Where we are unable to offer a placement, I would always encourage young people to get involved in politics in other ways, such as by gaining work experience with a political party or with one of our local councils. Please see my Parliament Week tab for more information.
