What is an internship at Breast Cancer Campaign?
An internship is a voluntary placement in one of Campaign's teams at our office in London. We aim to give interns insight into working in the charity sector, real fundraising experience and skills that can be used in their future career.
How long is an internship?
The internship lasts 12 weeks.
Is the volunteer internship full or part-time?
To get the most out of your internship, we would recommend that you commit to full-time. However, we appreciate that it is a voluntary position and you may have other commitments so we will accept applications from people who can only work part time. Please outline your availability in your covering letter.
Who can apply?
Anyone wishing to forge a career in the charity sector whether they are undergraduates, graduates or those looking for a career change.
What experience do I need?
Relevant voluntary or work experience is desirable but the internship is aimed at those looking for their first experience of the charity sector, so we do not expect you to have any previous experience.
What can I expect to gain from a volunteer internship at Breast Cancer Campaign?
As well as gaining an insight into how a successful team works and developing key skills, we will also provide a training session on CV and interview techniques to help you apply for future positions.
Will I get paid?
The internship is voluntary so you will not be paid. We will, however, refund travel expenses (London zones 1-6) and lunch (up to £4) each day.
Could an internship lead to a job offer at Breast Cancer Campaign?
An internship will not lead to a job offer at Breast Cancer Campaign. However, during your internship you will have access to our vacancies.
Will you provide me with a reference when I leave?
Yes, we will provide you with a reference upon completion of the internship.
