i would not expect anyone to work for free if they were coming to me for experience. you should at least get min. wage if you are assisting as well as gaining experience.

I have a ecs card and gained nvq in Pat testing and my own comprehensive tool set. I'm just looking to have at least one day a week with an electrician to gain experience on the job

What sort of experience as an Electrician are you looking for experience in Domestic (rewires, new builds) Commercial, or industrial, as it will be a factor in your choices.
If I was still working you would have been welcome but no for free, that I feel would be unethical, but that is now out of the question, but good luck, I'm sure someone will be able to spare you a few days.
