Communications Internship: Applications Open

Learn valuable work experience in a leading arts organisation: join the lively and committed team at The Reader Organisation, a charity which is working to bring about a reading revolution – bringing books to life by reading together.

This was an extremely rewarding experience both professionally and personally. I was trusted early with a varied body of roles and responsibilities – from events management, to promotions, to media relations – which not only provided the opportunity to step straight on the learning curve, but also, crucially, the confidence to express myself and trust my judgment(s). The team is warm and welcoming, truly in love with TRO’s drive towards a ‘reading revolution’. It was a great working environment: encouraging creativity and nurturing individuality. Not every intern can say they get out what they put in – and more! By the end of the four months I felt proud of what I’d achieved, and grateful for being part of such an inspiring charity. In fact, I hope to continue my work at The Reader Organisation beyond my internship!
