I offer work experience opportunities to students from Mid Dorset and North Poole. 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, including:

• Casework, depending on the age and ability of the student.
• Researching issues.
• Taking press-cuttings.
• 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, either by phone, email or letter.

When I have students in my office for work experience, I ask them to write something about their experience. You can read their contributions in the drop down lists on the left.

Please contact my office to enquire about work experience.
