There are no current vacancies.
We are now at capacity for work experience and internship placements from January to September 2026.
We are happy to offer work experience and internships on a discretionary basis. Work experience of up to two weeks is typically unpaid. Internship periods of greater than 2 weeks are paid. College or University funding support for work experience is also welcome. We take applications for work experience and internships for two periods each year. Anyone who comes into the business for work experience will be assigned a manager and a buddy and they will help make sure you get the most of your time with us. During work experience you will get a general feel for what it is like to work in our business, join various meetings and work on some projects within our teams. An internship will be more focused within a specific team with a clear set of work and deliverables.
We do not typically have work experience or internships from October to December, and do not have work experience students during August due to staff holidays. Work experience and internship placements are entirely at our discretion. Our ability to offer places will be based on a combination of available resource, work demands and the volume of applicants. In some instances an applicant selection process may be applied.
As a business that has moved to hybrid working, it can be more difficult to ensure that a work experience placement is valuable to the student. Our experience has been that to get the most out of this, students need to be able to attend the office and commit to a period of at least 3 days of work at any time.
To enquire about work experience or an internship, please contact hello@davidandcharles.com with your CV, and cover letter. You should give an indication of your preferred dates and any particular interest you have in our company or department, such as editorial and design, sales and marketing, production or general operations.
We work with a wide variety of freelancers for editing, proofreading, indexing, graphic design, art direction and photography. If you would like to be added to our books for potential freelance work, please contact hello@davidandcharles.com with your CV and portfolio link if applicable. Please note that due to the large number of enquiries we receive, it is not possible to respond to every one. A member of the team will be in touch if we have a suitable project that we would like to discuss with you.
