    The Health Foundation is an independent charity committed to bringing about better health and health care for people in the UK. Our aim is a healthier population, supported by high quality health care that can be equitably accessed. From giving grants to those working at the front line to carrying out research and policy analysis, we shine a light on how to make successful change happen.

    The Health Foundation is now recruiting an intern for our Policy team.

    About the role

    This internship offers an exciting development opportunity for a person who is enthusiastic about health policy and who wants to learn more. The role will suit someone interested in pursuing a career in policy and looking to gain knowledge and build experience. The successful candidate will be based in the Foundation’s Policy team. See the job description for more information about the team and the opportunities offered.

    The successful candidate will gain experience working with the policy team and colleagues across the organisation on projects spanning a wide range of topics, for example analysing the overall performance of the health and care system in England, exploring how it compares to health systems in other countries or tracking the policy priorities of the new government. They will be supported to develop their research, analysis, project management and written and verbal communication skills.

    In return, the intern will be expected to bring enthusiasm, curiosity, and a flexible approach to their work. They will be encouraged to maximise the opportunities available to them to learn and develop their knowledge and skills during their time in post. They will also be encouraged to connect and share learning with interns in other teams across the Foundation.
