Work Experience

We welcome students aged 16+ for work experience at Britten Sinfonia. Placements usually last for one week and are designed to introduce those interested in a career in orchestral administration to the various departments and job roles at Britten Sinfonia. We are only able to offer a small number of placements each year. If you are interested in organising work experience with us, please send a CV and a letter outlining why you would like a placement, to Sophie Dunn, Creative Learning Director, by the following dates:
 
30 April (for a placement during June, July, August or September)
31 August (for a placement during October, November, December or January)
31 December (for a placement during February, March, April or May)
 
In the likely event that we receive more than one application for a time period, we will choose the person who we feel (on the basis of their CV and letter) will gain the most from the placement and be best able to carry out the tasks given to them during their placement. We will then contact that person to arrange suitable dates for their placement. 

Unfortunately we have no more placements available until October 2010. Please apply by 31 August if you are interested in a placement during Autumn / Winter 2010-11.
