TY Work Experience
Each year Airfield Estate offers Transition Year students the opportunity to apply for a one-week placement where they will get hands-on work throughout the Estate. Over the week students will work together to fulfil a number of tasks incorporating both farm and garden work, as well as education, marketing and finance.
The Airfield TY Experience will run on the following dates:
- Monday October 20th - Friday October 24th
- Monday November 3rd - Friday November 7th
- Monday March 23rd - Friday March 27th
- Monday April 13th - Friday April 17th
- Applicants who do not have availability on the dates selected will be considered. Please ensure your preferred dates are mentioned at the top of your application.
If you would like to apply, please send your CV and short personal statement detailing, in your opinion, why work placement opportunities are important inspiring young people to join the workforce, to [email protected] before Monday August 11th. This personal statement should be no more that 300 words.
Please note:
- There is a selection process and a member of our team will be in contact after the closing date.
- We can only facilitate work experience that is one week long, not work experience of one day per week.
- Please note that it may not be possible to run the work experience programme during the 2025/2026 academic year. This is dependent on the public health situation, public health guidelines and workplace safety guidelines as well as the business operations of Airfield Estate.
- While you do not need to provide proof of insurance cover at the application stage, your school must be in a position to provide insurance cover for the work experience.
- Applicants must clearly specify the dates they are seeking to apply for. Successful applicants will be offered a specific start date. Successful applicants who have agreed on a start date may not change to a different start date unless agreed to by Airfield Estate.
- Where a work experience cannot proceed on an agreed date it is at the discretion of Airfield Estate if the student can transfer to a new date.
- Please do not submit an application if you will not be available for work experience during the 2025/2026 academic year.
ALL APPLICANTS WILL BE CONTACTED ON 25TH AUGUST.
