Internships
We have a dynamic and exciting internship programme that provides a mixture of on-the-job learning and formal training. It’s a real hands-on experience designed to give interns a valuable insight into the charity sector, offering a unique opportunity to gain experience and develop skills in an inclusive and nurturing environment.
We invest in you
All our interns work on real projects that make a difference to the lives of our members and contribute to the objectives of the charity as a whole. There is a strong emphasis on learning and development with weekly ‘skill and development’ classes and a supportive supervision structure. We pride ourselves on providing a high quality, challenging and inclusive internship programme.
Opportunities for internships
We facilitate up to eight internships at Body & Soul at any one time. There are 3 main intake times, each lasting for a minimum of 3 months.
Professional Study Placements
Body & Soul is passionate about sharing our learning across a range of professions. We commit resources throughout the year to provide invaluable frontline experience and training. We partner with a number of Academic Institutions to place final year undergraduate and post-graduate students on courses ranging from nursing, social work, youth & community and therapeutic specialisms.
Therapeutic Placements
We consider trainee therapists who are aligned with the ethos and values of Body & Soul and who can commit to a placement of at least one year, seeing three clients per week in an afternoon or evening. Because some of the work is likely to be longer-term, applicants will need to have already experienced deep therapeutic journeys of their own, and be able to work at depth with members. This may not be a suitable place to have your first placement unless you already have considerable therapeutic understanding or experience in a therapy-related field.
Types of placements available: counselling; psychotherapy; play therapy; dance therapy; drama therapy and family therapy.
