Work Experience

Beatbullying can offer exciting opportunities for work experience placements for young people from local schools across our local boroughs. We can offer the chance to experience working for a big national charity and to play a part in learning about the implementation of our prevention work, and why the work at Beatbullying is so important. Whatever part of the charity they would like to experience, candidates will gain invaluable experience and insight into how we tackle bullying and what can be done to prevent it.

Here are some examples of the many opportunities on offer and how they may benefit your students:

Communications - Our communications team deal with the media on a daily basis, ideal for young people who may be interested in a career in journalism and media.
Fundraising – The fundraising team are the people who generate interest from all types of corporate and individual funding opportunities, which can conclude in organising fundraising events large and small.
Administration – We have an admin team who deal with the daily running of the charity, including invoicing and stationary requirements for all of our offices and general office admin duties. Great for young people who wish to learn about working in a large and bustling office.
Development – Our development team are a dedicated, highly skilled staff out and about on the ground, delivering our workshops to schools and youth groups. The workshops can include subjects like sport, music and drama. This will benefit students who are thinking of going on to further education in these specific areas or who wish to learn about youth work and advocacy.
Creative and design – We have an award-winning designer and web developer in-house, taking care of all our creative, software and web design needs. Work experience in this team would give a young person a brilliant opportunity to experience first hand the excitement of a design studio and discover how we use technology to beat bullying!
