Surrey Police Work Experience Programme

Surrey Police Work Experience Programme

Following the huge success of the previous 4 Work Experience Programme held at Surrey Police Headquarters another work experience is scheduled to be held 7th, 8th and 9th October 2008. Applications for this work experience are invited from students aged 14-16 years who are genuinely interested in working for Surrey Police and who would be committed to possible on-going local work experience, out of school hours, for up to one year, if offered.

You must submit a Project with your Application forms.

The closing date for applications is Friday 18th July 2008.

As part of the selection process for this programme, students will be required to submit a project with their application forms. View a sample project.

Unfortunately the number of students taking part in this programme is limited to 50, therefore if the programme is oversubscribed shortlisting will take place on the standard of the project submitted.

It is a requirement that the successful candidates and their families selected for the 'ongoing' Work experience undertake security clearances before this additional work experience commences.

To help you complete your project, we have compiled a list of links to useful websites and sources.
