We can offer unremunerated work experience to people needing an opportunity to gain first-hand experience to boost their CV. These placements are particularly suitable for school students, or individuals with relevant skills that can help our organisation over an agreed period of time. Contact us to apply.

Internships are a valuable opportunity for both Haverhub and university students to mutually benefit. They allow students to utilise the skills they’ve acquired and put them into practice in the workspace, giving practical, relevant work experience to add to their CV. Haverhub gains enthusiastic, skilled and committed team members, who look at things with a fresh pair of eyes and from a new perspective.
Many universities offer funding for internships and work experience placements, so if you’re interested, contact your university to find out what they offer. Haverhub is unable to directly fund placements but can remunerate students provided the university has a system in place. If financial support is not available, you are more than welcome to do a voluntary placement or internship.
We accept applications from any university, and have already established links with UWE Bristol. Opportunities would suit Pembrokeshire students looking to spend the summer at home but wanting a job to occupy them, or people from further afield wanting to experience life in rural Wales. As Haverhub’s ethos is to support local talent and grow the community, we particularly welcome applicants from West Wales who can become part of our Pembrokeshire network. We may advertise specific positions on university websites, but if you want to work for us, please approach us directly to see if we have a role suitable for your skills.
I’m currently undertaking an internship at Haverhub for the summer. I study Fine Art and Writing at UWE Bristol and since I am based in Bristol, I’m doing the internship remotely. My knowledge of Adobe software such as Indesign and Illustrator has been very useful to my work at Haverhub and my skills are improving from the opportunity to work to specific briefs. The internship so far has been an extremely positive experience, especially seeing the inner workings of an ambitious project that is passionate about community building.
One thing I really appreciate about the internship is that the team delegates tasks to me based on my interests and abilities. On my visit to Haverfordwest, the team made me very welcome, and I was able to meet many of the locals who would be using the space in the future. It was motivating to be among the people who would benefit from Haverhub’s facilities and diverse events. Haverhub is a much welcomed space for everyone, that prioritises community involvement and inclusion. This is something I’m proud to be contributing to.
