We’re just being up front. At the moment, these positions are unpaid, though we cover reasonable expenses. As we grow, we want to make sure that lack of access to funds, one way or another, is never a barrier to working with us. We want the full range of talent and energy.

By looking at the links for volunteer roles you’ll get an idea of the type of roles / skills we need, and provide opportunities for you to develop. It’s a two way thing here.

Internships

Internships are similar to work experience. Internships have clear roles and based around specific projects / coordination roles- and individuals work for longer lengths of time (3 to 6 months, full or part time) compared to work experience. Like volunteering for a day, work experience, internships provide a chance to show off what you can do, and let us help you along the way.

Secondments.

What’s this? You’re employed already, and your employer lets you work in another organisation. This is because their staff gain new skills and experience, and / or help a non profit organization like us!

Ask your employer if you can work with us. Many employers are willing to continue paying your salary whilst you work with us. If in principle you can work with us, contact us for roles that we have for you.
