About the role
This internship is part of the Find a Solution programme which brings together current students and local Third Sector organisations to tackle issues of strategic importance through projects that will have a lasting impact.
The role will be for a total of 160 hours, to be worked flexibly between June and September (to be discussed with successful candidate). This role is open to 2nd- to 5th-year undergraduates from either the College of Arts & Humanities or College of Social Sciences.
Platform is looking to recruit a Marketing & Research intern to work on the promotion of Platform's creative / summer programme - and the evaluation of Platform's services within the local area.
The role would help promote Platform's summer programme and research/gather data to help reach more audiences, engage further with the local and wider community and gain a firmer insight into perceptions and the impact our services have. This would feed into Platform's strategic plan and help shape our outreach and programme going forward.
We host a varied programme of activity over the summer months including a children's holiday food programme offering free meals and creative activities to children and families in the local community and large scale family focused summer festivals.
This all runs hand in hand with our core creative programme which takes place all year round.
