We welcome applications for work experience from young people who attend secondary school or live in Folkestone. Placements are for two consecutive days between Tuesday and Friday between 9:30AM and 3:30 PM. You’ll learn about the day-to-day work of the museum. Tasks can include working with the collection and assisting with craft workshop preparation with the Museum team.
When you apply, we will need your full contact details, the name of your school and the dates you’re looking to undertake your work experience. We will also need full contact details of the teacher responsible for coordinating work experience, any assessment requirements and a copy of the school’s work experience risk assessment before considering any application.
Please be aware that spaces are limited to a maximum of eight per year and applications are on a first-come, first-served basis.
As well as work experience, we also welcome applications from Duke of Edinburgh’s Award participants who are looking to fulfil their volunteering or skills section at Bronze, Silver or Gold level. You must already be enrolled with a licensed organisation (school, youth club, DofE Direct, etc.) and we will require the contact details of your Award leader before considering any application.
For further details email the Museum team at museum@folkestone-tc.gov.uk.
