BAME Leadership Internship 2021

Lock Applications for this job are now closed
DEADLINE 21st May 2021
Internship
Environmental Justice Foundation
London
Law
£24,000 (Pro-rata)

Internship overview

This internship is specifically and exclusively designed for BAME individuals in the UK, with the intention of giving future leaders a step up and into the environment, conservation and human-rights professional community. We are doing this in recognition that within this sector - and particularly across conservation and environment - there is a significant underrepresentation of the BAME community in leadership positions. This is neither acceptable nor wise, the sector's ability to leverage change is diminished by this absence and is tarnished by its failure to act on it.

EJF is therefore initiating a pilot project to recruit and mentor a member of the BAME community, early in their career (within three years of graduating with a first or second degree) within this paid internship "Environment, Conservation and Human Rights Leadership". The internship will be for six months and be paid at a rate of £24,000 pro rata.

The internship will deliberately focus on leadership development to support the intern on the path to sit at the top of organisations - this will build and accelerate positive change.

A live programme of work has been developed for the intern to deliver specific outputs, geared toward outcomes where they can learn "real-world" marketable skills and experience that will help them work their way into senior positions in the sector, being able to demonstrate that they have worked with highly experienced, senior figures in a leading international environmental and human rights organisation.
