Mel Stride Work Experience

Mel Stride offers work experience opportunities for students from his constituency who want to learn more about local politics and public service. The placement is designed to give young people practical insight into the work of an MP’s office and to help them build confidence and transferable skills.

Students may get involved in a range of day-to-day tasks, depending on their age and ability. These can include researching issues, taking press cuttings, writing press releases, assisting with office duties, answering queries from constituents by phone or email, and accompanying the MP to meetings or events in the House or in the constituency.

Anyone interested in a placement is invited to contact the office to enquire about work experience. The opportunity is best suited to students looking for an introduction to politics, public-facing communication, and office-based work.
