Work Experience placements across a variety of departments.
Work experience with Beaford is a great opportunity to learn about a particular job role or about the arts sector more generally. We strive to make sure candidates gain a meaningful understanding of how we work, acquiring new skills and knowledge that will enable them to make informed decisions about possible career plans.
Youth Arts Ambassadors is a platform for young people (aged 14-25) to express their ideas, concerns, and aspirations for the future of Northern Devon's arts and culture sector.
They meet regularly to discuss relevant issues, share ideas, and collaborate on initiatives. Guest speakers and mentors from the local arts community will be invited to provide guidance and support. Find out more here.
