Year 10 Work Experience
Deadline: Fri 28 Nov 2025, 11:59pm
Exeter Phoenix are very excited to be announcing that we are applications for our work experience placements for year 10 students, in their summer term 2026.
Students will get to work across the venue, taking on responsibilities involving venue management, marketing, digital, tech and front of house. The placement will give them a breadth of experience within the arts & hospitality industry.
Students are invited to apply via Google Form by 11:59pm 28th November 2025. Selected applicants will be asked to attend an informal interview to discuss your application and interests in further detail. After the interview, we will then contact students to advise whether you have been accepted.
As we receive a lot of interest in our programme, we therefore can’t offer a place to everyone and will try our best to give feedback. We recommend that you also approach other workplaces as well. If you have any further questions, feel free to contact Sam Forster at sam.forster@exeterphoenix.org.uk or 01392 667065
