Work Experience in John Glen MP's Office

John Glen MP offers work experience opportunities for students from the Salisbury constituency who want to gain first-hand insight into local politics and the day-to-day work of an MP. The placement is designed to help young people build skills while seeing how parliamentary and constituency work operates in practice.

Participants may help with a range of tasks, including social media, researching an issue, supporting constituency surgery, accompanying the MP to a meeting or event in the House or in the constituency, and assisting with office duties. In Westminster, the placement is generally offered to students in Lower or Upper Sixth Form.

Placements typically last one week and are preferably arranged when the House is sitting. The page also mentions shadowing days in the constituency on a Friday or during recess, giving students or others interested in the role of an MP the chance to attend surgeries, events and meetings.
