The fund closed for applications on Wednesday 3 April 2024
The University of Nottingham is opening its internship scheme for summer 2024. Since its inception in 2014, the scheme has benefited hundreds of organisations. Successful charitable organisations will receive a grant to fully cover the employment of an intern from the university for four weeks. Internships will commence on Monday 3 June 2024. Organisations can benefit from fresh ideas, up-to-date skills and experience, and increased capacity for short-term projects.
To be eligible, organisations must have:
- The ability to support the intern to work effectively.
- Employer and public liability insurance.
- A written Health and Safety policy.
- A registered office, separate from any residential address (unless posting a remote internship).
Registered charities, not-for-profit organisations, and social enterprises, as well as private sector businesses are eligible. Organisations can host up to two students and must oversee their own interviews and directly hire the interns.
The internship must:
- Be offered to a current student or recent graduate from The University of Nottingham.
- Last for four weeks.
- Provide at least 30 hours of work per week for the duration of the scheme. Or equivalent over an extended period of weeks if the intern will be working on a part-time basis.
- Pay at least the National Living Wage of £11.44 per hour for the duration of the internship.
- Include tasks and responsibilities normally associated with a graduate-level position.
Charities will receive funding of £1,750 to subsidise the full salary of the intern.
