Our vision is to make Dorset a great place to live, work and visit. Helping people improve their employability will enable us to achieve this. Our placement schemes help us to recruit, train and develop the next generation of employees.

A placement with us will provide you with engaging, informative and worthwhile work.

You will gain:

  • important personal and professional skills
  • access to experienced people
  • new responsibilities

We want to offer placements in a variety of service areas that are suitable for:

  • school students
  • school-leavers
  • undergraduates
  • graduates
  • people looking to get back into work

There are no entry requirements for our work experience placements. However, the keys to our successes are the:

  • behaviours we show
  • attitudes we hold
  • approaches we take at work

We recognise that our people make our organisation so we created our behaviours with our employees. You must show these behaviours whilst on placement with us.
