What is the Health Internship Programme?

The Health Internship Programme is a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in international health programmes. This one year scheme is designed to enable participants to develop the necessary skills to launch a career in global health with Save the Children.

Criteria for Applicants

An important entry requirement for interns is the ability to improvise and take initiative in the face of unexpected challenges. Interns’ ability to adapt to difficult circumstances, motivate themselves and remain positive and productive in the face of obstacles will greatly enhance the benefits they gain from the internship. Whilst coaches will have been carefully selected and will be supported in their coaching roles, they are busy programme staff members juggling a range of responsibilities in sometimes unpredictable environments. In some cases this may place limitations on their ability to provide extensive support and dedicated time to interns. Interns therefore need to be solution-focused and able to adapt to changing situations.
