Bath Spa Works: Third Sector Internships are back for 2024!



Round 2 of our Bath Spa Works: Third Sector Internships is now open! Bath Spa University are delighted to announce the relaunch of their internship scheme, specifically designed for Third Sector organisations. These opportunities provide invaluable experiences to students allowing them to enhance their key employability skills, whilst helping to support the growth of charities, social enterprise or a CIC.


This year, Bath Spa University are offering the opportunity to advertise an internship, between 80-120 hours to help support your organisation. This internship could be supporting your organisations growth, or you may have a specific project in mind.   

  

Although these internships are not required to be paid at national minimum wage, Bath Spa University are able to offer the successful student an Employability Award of £1,000 to go towards their work with you. This Award will be paid directly to the student by the university.   

 

This second intake of proposals will be open from 8th January 2024 - 17th March 2024. However, proposal closure will be subject to change (early or extended closure) as determined by funding available. Funding is offered on a first come first serve basis and will be available until exhausted. 


Interested? Here’s how to get involved:   

  

Step 1: Complete this Employer Proposal form (click here for link) with an outline of your internship details. You must submit a proposal form otherwise you will not be eligible to receive the funding as part of Bath Spa Works: Internships.  

  

Step 2: Your form will be submitted to the Placements Team to review and approve if deemed appropriate (so please be as clear as possible in your description of the role). It can take up to 5 working days for forms to be reviewed.  

  

Step 3: Once your Proposal Form has been reviewed by the Placements Team, Bath Spa University will be in touch with the outcome and next steps. If/when your proposal has been approved, you will receive confirmation from the Placements Team. This confirmation will be sent via email.  

 

Step 4: Upload your opportunity! If approved, you will receive further details on what the next steps are.   

  

NB: There is limited funding so won't be able to accept all proposals. Decisions will be based on the quality of the opportunity for students and the organisation's need. 

 

Please take the time to read over the attached Bath Spa Works Internships - Third Sector: Employer Handbook, and for any internships that involve remote working, Bath Spa University also encourage you to take the time to read over this "Guide to working from home for students" from ACAS. 

  

Any questions in the meantime, please get in touch via placements@bathspa.ac.uk and please feel free to forward to any contacts who you know who might need an extra pair of hands!  

  

Bath Spa University look forward to hearing from you and to reading your proposals!
