Bath Spa University are delighted to announce the relaunch of their internship scheme, specifically designed for third sector organisations.
After a brilliant first round of internships, they are back again for another intake of Bath Spa Works: Third Sector Internships to help support the growth of charities, social enterprise or a CIC.
These opportunities provide invaluable experiences to Bath Spa students allowing them to enhance their key employability skills, which will set them apart in the ever competitive Graduate labour market.
The Offer:
All employers have such varying recruitment needs, and the programme is designed to be as flexible as possible to suit your organisation.
This year, Bath Spa Works will once again be offering you the opportunity to advertise an internship, between 80-120 hours to help support your organisation. This internship could be supporting your organisation's growth or you may have a specific project in mind.
Although these internships are not required to be paid at national minimum wage, they 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 in 2 payments and will be made directly to the student.
Interested? Here’s how to get involved:
Step 1: Complete this Employer Proposal form (click here for form) 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, you will be contacted 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 how to do this.
NB: Please note, this project has 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.
This intake of proposals will be open from 9th January 2023 - 19th March 2023. However, proposal closure will be subject to change (early or extended closure) as determined by funding available. There will be one final intake of proposals opening in April.
