I hold two week-long work experience placements each year for a limited number of students. This is a great opportunity for those who have a particular interest in politics and who wish to gain experience within their local MP's office. It is open to students aged 16 or above who live or go to school in the South Northamptonshire constituency.

All applicants will need to provide a CV and short cover letter detailing your interest via andrea.leadsom.mp@parliament.uk.

Successful candidates will split their time between my Towcester and Westminster offices, and will take part in a wide range of activities that will give a flavour of how a Member of Parliament works on behalf of their constituents.

If you would like to read how two students found their work experience placement in 2019, Safwaan and Cerys have prepared this blog post as part of their time with me and my team.
