This is a hugely exciting opportunity to work for a UK based, rapidly growing, high-achieving, student-led international charity, delivering positive change to hundreds of thousands of students in East Africa.
READ has grown spectacularly, from the starting point of having our founding Director working from his kitchen table, to the current set-up, with seven staff based in the UK office and one based permanently in Dar Es Salaam in Tanzania. This is an exciting opportunity to play a ‘hands-on’ role with an award-winning, dynamic, student-driven and ambitious charity.
This opportunity is a chance to:
· Gain a foothold in the UK charity and international development sector
· Work with an award winning Charity
· Network with our big brand international corporate partners
· Develop a portfolio of skills for a career in either the voluntary or development sector or transferable skills for the private sector
· Work within a supported and encouraging environment
· ‘Give something back’, and help hundreds of thousands of children in both the UK and East Africa
· Gain invaluable experience in project management, volunteer management and fundraising at a national level, and attend voluntary sector training events and conferences
· Be given real responsibility from day one
You will manage a selection of six student-volunteer led book projects. You'll be responsible for ensuring they deliver to target on fundraising, book collections and school presentations and workshops. You will provide support and advice and advice for our student volunteers.
This is 9 month voluntary internship - you will need to commit to 3 and a half days per week from September 2010 to May 2011
