Interns and volunteers

 

Apply now: three new internships working with BIHR’s Policy and Public Affairs team!

 
  • Policy (PPAV1)
  • Political affairs (PPAV2)
  • Media (PPAV3)
 
BIHR is seeking three interns to assist us with our policy and public affairs work (PPA). We are looking for two interns with an understanding and interest in UK human rights law and practice to assist with policy (PPAV1) and political affairs (PPAV2), and a third intern to assist with our media work (PPAV3). All intern positions include providing administrative support to the Acting Policy and Public Affairs Manager and/or Director, as required.
 
About the roles
For the policy (PPAV1) and political affairs (PPAV2) internships we are seeking two people each able to commit to 2-3 days a week for at least three months starting as soon as possible (by start of September at the latest). These roles will be ideally suited to individuals who have some practical work experience or have completed or are currently studying for qualifications in the areas of law, social policy, politics, campaigning, monitoring and evaluation, and communications. These positions will be working with the Acting Policy and Public Affairs Manager.
 
For the media internship (PPAV3) we are seeking a person able to commit at least 2 days a week for at least six months starting as soon as possible (by start of September at the latest). This role would be ideally suited to someone interested in a career in communications / media work and who has strong written and verbal communication skills. Previous practical experience is not necessary as this role will provide the opportunity for “on-the-job” learning. This role will be working with the Director.
 
The roles are unpaid; BIHR will refund travel expenses and lunch up to £5 per day.
