City of Doncaster Council offers work experience placements, internships and volunteering opportunities for people who want to learn more about the council and the range of careers available across its teams. The page explains that placements are intended to be meaningful and can help participants build practical skills, understand the world of work and explore possible career paths.
The council also supports university placements for social work and occupational therapy students as part of professional training. These statutory placements are arranged directly with universities rather than through individual applications.
The page notes that opportunities may vary depending on resources and availability, and that an application does not guarantee a place.
If you are interested in a placement, you complete the application form and email it to the council with the area you want to work in and the dates you are available. The page also mentions that some teams work in a hybrid way, so traditional face-to-face placements may not always be possible.
Supporting information includes an interactive guide, insight events and videos showing different council roles.
