SAVE Britain's Heritage Launches New Internship Programme for new entrants to the heritage sector

SAVE Britain's Heritage is launching a new Internship Programme and welcomes applicants from all parts of the community for a 4 month part-time paid intern position for those who are new to the historic built environment sector.

We are a small, dynamic and friendly team, and this post will provide first-hand experience of a range of activities relevant to work in the historic built environment. You will work with our Conservation Adviser to gain experience of heritage advocacy, including commenting on planning applications and assisting in research and analysis for current campaigns to save threatened buildings. You will also work with our Buildings at Risk Officer on updating our national database of buildings at risk and support our Fundraising and Events Officer in looking after our Friends and Saviours and organising events.
