Internships

 

Are you looking to gain experience in the charity sector?  Do you want to boost your CV and employability?  Do you want to develop your skills?

Would you like to make a real difference to the work that we do?  If so, we’d like to hear from you.

Intern placements are for three months and we ask for a minimum 16 hours per week commitment, over two or three days.  Placements are based at our national office in London.

Our programme is designed to enable people to consolidate their existing skills, gain valuable experience and boost their employability.  We’re looking for people who want 'hands on' experience, to help them develop workplace skills whilst making a significant contribution to CCT.

Internships are voluntary and are unpaid, but we will pay £12 per day to cover travel and lunch expenses.

What could I be doing?

As an intern you could be developing a project, conducting some research or planning an event. Our interns are given real projects to work on, which make a difference to the Trust’s work.  You will find a copy of the job description for the role here.
