£13,000 stipend
Central London
The Football Foundation is the country’s largest sports charity. We are changing the landscape of grassroots sport in this country by investing in developing new community sports facilities with investment provided by the Premier League, The FA and the Government (via Sport England). So far the Foundation has supported £1.5 billion worth of local sport projects.
A valuable opportunity now awaits you: the Foundation is offering a year-long work placement to two undergraduate students in full-time education within its Communications Team. The successful candidates will experience a unique year-in-industry placement in the exciting world of football and in a friendly environment. You will be working with famous names from sport and politics and deliver high-level public relations (PR) and communications activities each week.
This is your chance to build an impressive portfolio and be supported with on-the-job training from experienced colleagues. Whilst working closely together, the two interns will have two distinct roles. One intern’s work will be providing support to applicants around publicity, and helping us secure media coverage. The other role will be more focused on supporting our digital and social media activity, and providing reports for our Funding Partners.
