Internships
OxFizz runs an annual internship programme for students at university in Oxford, enabling them to learn skills and gain experience working for an innovative social enterprise.
Our internship programme is aimed at those interested in charities, philanthropy and social enterprise. It is especially useful for anyone looking to go into the charity sector or social enterprise as a career. There is a paradox in third sector employment: charities require applicants to have experience; but the number of internships or work experience available in charities is minimal.
We seek to bridge that gap by providing structured internships, providing experience, training, seminars and mentoring for our team of interns. OxFizz internships are a real development opportunity, enabling interns to learn relevant skills and experience while raising money for charity in an innovative organisation.
Positions available, amongst others, include Business Manager Intern, PR Manager Intern, Research Manager Intern, Company Secretary Intern, Secretary Intern, Treasurer Intern and IT Officer Intern. The time commitment is roughly 6-8 hours per week.
The next round of recruitment for the OxFizz Internship Programme 2008-9 starts in May 2008. We do, however, welcome earlier contact from any interested persons throughout the year, and can answer any questions you might have. Please email if you are interested in joining the OxFizz Team.
As an intern, I get an opportunity to gain experience in running a charitable organisation with a unique approach to fundraising. It's great fun - and the training OxFizz provides for me is really useful and relevant - Amy, PR Manager Intern
