Office Design Intern

We have a great opportunity for an enthusiastic individual to join our Resources team for two to three months to assist the team with improving the layout and general aesthetics of our London office on a tight budget.  This opportunity would enable the successful applicant to do a discrete piece of work with creativity and some degree of autonomy which could then be added to a portfolio of work for the future and would be ideal for an undergraduate over a summer or a recent graduate. 

The internship would specifically entail:

• Scoping out options for redesigning the office layout
• Understanding how the office is used by staff and how we can make most effective use of the space we have
• Making recommendations for aesthetic and operational improvements
• Sourcing supplies to carry out any improvements from ethical suppliers in line with Forum’s procurement policy

Person specification:

• creative and innovative
• a strong interest in interior design (office design in particular is desirable)
• able to work within a tight budget
• enthusiastic about being part of a busy office
• proactive and able to take the initiative when necessary
• efficient and able to multi-task

Forum for the Future is able to cover daily transport costs to the office (within Zone 6) and lunch up to £5 per day.

To apply please send your CV and covering letter with details of how you meet the person specification and a completed equal opportunities form to Helen Saunders, HR and Knowledge Manager. 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.
