Job Details

We’re looking for an ambitious, enthusiastic person with a demonstrable interest in mental health, campaigning and communications to join our External Affairs team on a six month internship. This is a fixed-term training position.

The successful candidate will have the unique opportunity to get hands-on experience of all aspects of our external affairs work, from our public affairs and campaigning activities to our social media, digital content and events. We can also promise a concerted and systematic focus on your own learning and professional development. 

We welcome applicants from across the UK. Our office is based in central London, however this post can be offered on a remote-working basis, with occasional travel to the office (in line with government guidelines). An access guide for the office building can be found here: https://www.accessable.co.uk/king-s-college-london/strand-campus/access-guides/virginia-woolf-building#7a84bbf9-3c4b-4737-ade9-99e8f126def3

We are committed to remove unconscious bias as much as possible from our recruitment process. We therefore use a platform called Be Applied which allows us to blind review applications without seeing details such as names and education details. You will be asked to write short answers to a few questions, specifically designed to test the skills we are looking for in the person specification. Your answers will be anonymised (all identifying information will be removed) and randomised. You can read more about the principles behind the blind review process here: https://www.beapplied.com/post/what-is-blind-hiring

We are an equal opportunities and Mindful employer, and welcome applications from all — including those with lived experience of a mental health condition. We are also committed to improving employment opportunities in the charity sector for minority ethnic groups, and are particularly keen to receive applications from members of diverse ethnic communities.

Closing Date: 28 January 2022

Interview/Start Dates

Closing time: 9:00am

Online interviews are provisionally planned for Wednesday 9 February and the internship will ideally start from the week commencing Monday 28 February.
