Paid summer holiday work experience placement at Devon Accounting Solutions
Having spoken to a few people recently within the local area, we have discovered how difficult it is for young people to get an opportunity to work and gain valid work experience. We have therefore decided to create a part time summer holiday’s position in our Teignmouth offices.
We are looking for a young person preferably between the ages of 16 – 20 years old whom may be studying either at school, college or university and are looking for paid work experience. It will be 2 days per week (Wednesday & Thursday) and will consist of:
• General administration support and helping our team as and when needed
• Basic bookkeeping work using Xero & Quickbooks (You will have an introduction in to both)
• Summarising income & expenditure receipts on to excel spreadsheets
• Scanning receipts for preparation of bookkeeping
• Making teas and coffees for client meetings
• Any other reasonable duties that may be required
If you are interested, please email [email protected] with the following:
• Your name, address and telephone number
• Your education summary to date
• Your employment history, if applicable
• A brief description to the following question (no more than a paragraph needed on each question):
o What interests you to working within an office environment?
o What achievements have you had to date, be it education/sports/other?
o What hobbies/part time activities you have?
o What career ambitions do you have?
o Personal statement about why we should consider you?
The deadline for sending the above to us is 31 March 2026 and we will review all responses early April 2026 and if you are successful in the 1st phase, we will invite you to an informal meeting.
