Jobs and Internships

Any available paid positions in the World Land Trust office are posted on our vacancies page together with volunteer positions. Internships are described in full below.

WLT Internships 

The World Land Trust offers six-month internships based in Suffolk, UK. Interns gain valuable experience of project development and conservation management as they work on real-life day-to-day issues arising in our many overseas projects. Interns also get an individually tailored training programme to suit their needs.

The WLT Internship Programme is designed primarily for UK residents. Internships are entirely voluntary, and although unpaid, all expenses connected with work, such as travel to meetings and training courses are paid for. The intern will therefore be expected to be self-supporting, but it is possible that they will be eligible for housing and other state benefits. Successful interns will work for a six-month period, gaining hands-on experience of project management, fundraising and general office/administrative skills.

Previous interns and volunteers with the WLT have all subsequently found employment in conservation or related areas. See what previous interns say about the programme.
