About Cancer Research UK
Our pioneering research delivers the breakthroughs which prevent, control and cure cancer. From our staff, volunteers and supporters to our scientists, doctors and nurses, we’re all here to save more lives. Together, we’re leading the world in discovering and developing newer, kinder treatments, and we want you to be part of the journey that will bring forward the day when all cancers are cured.
Autumn Internships
Whatever project you take on, you’ll have a dedicated intern manager who will support you through your projects and a mentor who will help you accelerate your personal development. We’ll also provide you with networking opportunities and training to enhance your employability. You’ll be paid the Living Wage – if you intern with us 5 days a week for 12 weeks in London, this works out as £4,154 – and are eligible for many of our benefits, including paid holiday.
In September, Cancer Research UK are offering around 25 internships to individuals looking to gain experience in the fields of fundraising, marketing, communications, corporate partnerships, technology and more. In the past, our interns have done everything from supporting large-scale fundraising events and building relationships with major donors, to creating scientific resources for the health sector and delivering prototypes for new technologies like voice recognition. Our 12 week long internships are projects delivering above and beyond the work we already do, meaning that every hour our interns give brings us one step closer to beating cancer.
