The successful candidate will be responsible for ensuring that publications are produced on schedule and to a high standard, providing the opportunity to gain practical experience in publications management/production.

In addition, it will involve editing and proofreading news stories for use on Alert’s website and monthly e-newsletter, offering experience in taking complex topics and conveying them in an accessible way. The role will also involve a fairly large amount of administrative tasks (e.g. logging, filing, payment, etc.).

To apply, please send a completed INTERN application form and equal opportunities form to jobs@international-alert.org, both of which can be found under ‘How to Apply’ which is part of the Jobs section of Alert’s website.

Closing date: Sunday, 9th August 2015 – 12 pm (UK time)

Interviews will take place on the week commencing 17 August 2015.

While International Alert will endeavour to contact all candidates within a reasonable time, this may not always be possible due to limited resources.
