Please note that places for work experience placements in 2012 are now full. If you have any questions, please email education@edenproject.com.

The Eden Project offers exciting work experience placements in the following areas:

  • education
  • horticulture
  • hospitality
  • maintenance
  • projects
  • retail
  • stewarding.

Placements are available from May 2012 through to July 2012. If your work experience week does not fall within this period, please let us know and we will do all we can to help you.

Each opportunity is a week long and will give you a fantastic insight into life at Eden. You will spend time working with the team in your chosen area to find out more about how their jobs contribute to the aims and objectives of Eden. During the week your Supervisor will set you a mini project and send out on a site-wide fact-finding mission on which you will feedback at the end of the week.

Role profiles

Every placement has a role profile, which tells you a little bit more about the role and what skills and qualities you will need to show during your placement. To read the full role profiles, download the PDF files below:
