Public Affairs Internship 2022
We have an exciting opportunity for an Intern to join our award winning Public Affairs practice to gain some career building, firsthand experience by shadowing and assisting in delivering day-to-day client work and playing a key support role within the team. The internship duration will be for approximately two weeks. It’s an unpaid opportunity but we will cover any expenses of up to £50 a week. Given the current circumstances, we envisage this to be a fully home based opportunity, however going forward, there would be a mix of office and home working.
