Do you want to build your work experience in the largest contemporary crafts organisation in the South West? Devon Guild of Craftsmen is offering marketing internships this summer running from July to September.

They are looking for lively individuals with an interest in people to assist with market research, conducting face-to-face interviews with our visitors at Riverside Mill in Bovey Tracey.

There will be a training day and staff support to get you started. This voluntary, part-time role will include inputting data and working with our office and marketing staff to build on recent research and develop a better picture of our current audience.
