Speaking on her work experience scheme, Rebecca reflected:
I know how challenging it is to get start your career off the ground. I did not grow up in a political family and Westminster felt a long way from home in Devon. When Sir Gary Streeter, the previous MP for South West Devon, offered me work experience in his office it opened doors which I never knew existed.
I know that many young people are priced out of work experience. My team and I also appreciate that we can learn just as much from you as you can from us. We value your time and want to make work experience as accessable as possible. That is why, unlike most MPs' offices, we pay our interns. I hope this I can make a small difference in young people's careers by offering a regular programme of paid work experience in my constituency office.

Eve:
I am incredibly grateful to Rebecca and her team for giving me the opportunity to learn the inner workings of an MP's office. I gained hands-on experience across a variety of tasks, from drafting press releases to conducting constituent casework research. I was also fortunate to accompany Rebecca on site visits, meeting local constituents and witnessing first-hand the impact of her work.
Her approachable and inspiring nature, along with the way she engages with the community, has been a powerful learning tool for me. The experience has been invaluable in bridging the gap between graduating and joining the professional world, enhancing both my confidence and CV.
