The third and final round of Bath Spa Works: Third Sector Internships is now open! Bath Spa University are delighted to announce the launch of 2023/24's final round of their internship scheme, specifically designed for Third Sector organisations. These opportunities provide invaluable experiences to students allowing them to enhance their key employability skills, whilst helping to support the growth of charities, social enterprise or a CIC.
Bath Spa University are offering the opportunity to advertise an internship, between 80-120 hours to help support your organisation. This internship could be supporting your organisations growth, or you may have a specific project in mind.
Although these internships are not required to be paid at national minimum wage, Bath Spa University are able to offer the successful student an Employability Award of £1,000 to go towards their work with you. This Award will be paid directly to the student by the university.
This third intake of proposals will be open from 15th April 2024 - 16th June 2024. However, proposal closure will be subject to change (early or extended closure) as determined by funding available. Funding is offered on a first come first serve basis and will be available until exhausted.
Interested? Here’s how to get involved:
Step 1: Complete this Employer Proposal form (click here for link) with an outline of your internship details. You must submit a proposal form otherwise you will not be eligible to receive the funding as part of Bath Spa Works: Internships.
Step 2: Your form will be submitted to the Placements Team to review and approve if deemed appropriate (so please be as clear as possible in your description of the role). It can take up to 5 working days for forms to be reviewed.
Step 3: Once your Proposal Form has been reviewed by the Placements Team, Bath Spa University will be in touch with the outcome and next steps. If/when your proposal has been approved, you will receive confirmation from the Placements Team. This confirmation will be sent via email.
Step 4: Upload your opportunity! If approved, you will receive further details on what the next steps are.
NB: There is limited funding so won't be able to accept all proposals. Decisions will be based on the quality of the opportunity for students and the organisation's need.
