Freedom from Torture has a policy internship programme for people with a background in human rights or refugee protection who are interested in pursuing a policy career within the NGO (non-governmental organisation) world.
Our internships are an opportunity to learn how large human rights NGOs develop and deliver their policy agendas, whilst also contributing to the generation of evidence-based policy on torture survivors specifically. Please note that a law degree, enrolment in a university course leading to a law degree, is a prerequisite for this role.
Our volunteers and interns are asked to give us a regular commitment; for this role we require 2 to 3 days per week, for up to 6 months.
We are able to reimburse lunch of up to £4.00 per day and reasonable travel expenses incurred in the course of carrying out volunteer work.
