  • Communications and Engagement.
  • Economics.
  • Marketing and Brand.
  • Library Services.
  • Children’s Services.
  • Museum and Gallery.
  • Information Technology.
  • People and Culture.
  • Finance.
  • Legal.
  • Planning.
  • Sustainability and Waste.

  • What is required

    • Have current insurance coverage from educational provider (Certificate of Currency) covering the duration of your placement.
