In 2009 Diabetes UK will be running a pilot internship scheme at our central
office in London. Applications are now open, so if you would like to gain
experience of working in the charity sector then read on.
Our internship scheme is open to anyone who can commit to a 12-week
volunteer placement. All placements are project-based and will give you real
responsibility and the opportunity to apply your knowledge in a practical
way. You will gain valuable work experience, develop new skills and learn
how one of the UK's largest charities is run.
An integral part of the team
Interns will generally work between three and five days a week, with
flexible hours. Successful applicants will be given a full Diabetes UK
induction and training. They will become an integral part of the team and
will receive career development support.
A fantastic opportunity
"This is a fantastic opportunity to develop your skills and gain experience
at the largest organisation in the UK working for people with diabetes,"
said Helen Johnston, Volunteer Development Officer at Diabetes UK.
Making a vital contribution
"Joining our internship scheme will give you the satisfaction of knowing
that you are making a vital contribution to the work of Diabetes UK, helping
to make a difference to the lives of people affected by diabetes."
