Carla joined Age UK in the fundraising team and talks here about purpose driven work and the value of corporate sector skills. Since we filmed, Carla has accepted a permanent role at Age UK. Proving that a placement can indeed become a stepping stone into the charity sector.
We’re in search of individuals motivated to channel their expertise into the charity sector. Primarily those with transferable marketing skills gained in a professional environment, (client or agency side), who are eager to contribute to marketing, business development or fundraising and corporate partnerships initiatives. If you possess strong communication abilities, a knack for creativity, and the flexibility to adapt to new challenges, you’re exactly who we’re looking for.
Here’s what we offer: a six-month placement with a UK charity, ensuring you’re compensated at least the living wage (pro rata if part-time). We provide coaching on the charity landscape and culture for our associates, as well as monthly peer-to-peer learning sessions throughout your placement.
We run one cohort a year from July to December. We are not accepting further applications at this time.
