WS Planning & Architecture provide different types of work experience through our Work Experience Programme. Whether you are an aspiring Planner, Architect, or Architectural Technologist we hope to provide an inspiring placement with our Practice. As well as offering work experience opportunities we also regularly attend and support local Careers Fairs and Enterprise Days.

If you are a school or college within the RH & CR postcode catchment area and would like us to attend your careers event, please contact Robin Segal.

For Students in year 10 or above at Secondary School or Sixth Form College, we aim to provide 1 week of unpaid work experience at our Reigate & Croydon offices throughout the year (except during Summer Holidays, which we reserve for Students enrolled on a relevant Degree course).

When applying, please include details of your area of interest and why (Planning, Architecture or Heritage), your age/school year, the week you’d like to do your placement, and confirm whether this is part of your school’s curriculum or work experience week.

For Students enrolled on a relevant Degree course, we aim to provide 1 to 2 paid work experience placements of up to 6 weeks in the Summer months – June, July, August, and September.

For Architectural Graduates (Part 1) seeking a “Year Out in Practice” job, or University Students seeking a Placement in Practice, please refer to our Careers page for our current opportunities.

We will consider applications from students in RH postcodes for Work Experience in our Reigate office and from students in CR postcodes for Work Experience in our Croydon office.
