Green Futures Interns

IMPORTANT:  This Advertiser has requested that applicants MUST be National Residents / Valid Work Permit-holders.  Other applicants need not apply.

 

Green Futures magazine – the leading international magazine on environmental solutions and sustainable futures – is looking for two motivated individuals to volunteer with the team.

The interns would ideally work four days a week over a period of three months. The internships are unpaid, but travel and lunch expenses will be covered.

Tasks include:

• Production support (proofreading, picture chasing)
• Updating the Green Futures website
• Administration
• Research on specific forthcoming feature articles
• Researching and writing short briefings
• Support to expand Green Futures’ readership

This is a great opportunity to gain experience of working on a magazine. That’s why the people we have in mind will have:

• An interest and knowledge in sustainable development
• A high level of literacy and an ability to write clearly
• An ability to carry out research with limited management
• A willingness to pitch in with a variety of tasks within a small team

Applications – which should include a CV, letter detailing how you meet the person specification, a completed equal opportunities form, two samples of previous writing and an idea for a short news story within the magazine – should be sent to Helen Saunders, HR Officer. You can send it to her by email: recruitment@forumforthefuture.org or send a hard copy to 19-23 Ironmonger Row, London EC1V 3QN. Please note the equal opportunities form will be separated from your application and not form part of the short-listing process.

Closing date: 9am Monday 23rd July
Interviews: afternoon of 26th July
Start date: 6th August
