Careers FAQ’s

  • Sorry, no. Please only apply to advertised positions.

  • Sorry, no. However, some of our roles are completable by remote and hybrid working. Please check each vacancy for details.

  • We’re more than happy to provide feedback for interviewed candidates. However, due to the volume of applicants received for each vacancy, it’s usually not possible for us to provide feedback if you didn’t get an interview.

  • It depends on the role. For roles with our London team, many of our staff work remotely with regular travel to London. For other roles, it’s important for you to be able to get to the office advertised. This is usually discussed at interview.

  • It depends on the role. Working with our Programme Teams nearly always demands native fluency in the local language. For roles in London, English is a must and French and Arabic is an asset.

Internship FAQ’s

  • Our Programme Internships open around August and February each year and our Fundraising and Communications Internships open around January and July every year. Please check our 'Careers' page for open vacancies.

  • You can apply online by following the instructions in each vacancy. See them here.

  • For all of our Interns, it’s not a requirement to be multilingual. But if you speak French or Arabic to a professional level, it definitely helps you to stand out and we advise you to highlight these skills in your application.

  • For our Fundraising and Communications Interns, it’s not a requirement. We’re more interested in your passion, skills and experience, but you could demonstrate those with your education.

    For our Programme Interns, it’s a requirement. You must either be a currently enrolled graduate student or a recent graduate from a Master’s or equivalent. This is because the Internship requires strong research and analytical skills.

  • For our Fundraising and Communications Interns, there is no expected area of study.

    For our Programme Interns, recent completion of or current study at Master’s level (or equivalent) is a requirement. There is no expected area of study, but past interns have studied subjects like international relations, conflict studies, law and other similar degrees. If you’ve studied something different, don’t worry. It’s your passion for peacebuilding and research that we’re looking for.

  • No, not currently. We’re currently operating with a hybrid model of working. Most of our staff work remotely and occasionally travel to our London Office for meetings. We’re more than happy to discuss working arrangements with you in your interview.

  • Sorry, we don’t. Please do not apply if you will require visa sponsorship.

  • While our Internships are unpaid, we offer a small daily stipend towards lunch and travel expenses.

    As our Interns attest to, working with us isn’t about making coffee or photocopying. You’ll get real first hand experience of working in peacebuilding, be that researching new developments in peacebuilding or communicating them to the world. We’re a small team, so you can expect to try lots of different things. We’ll ask you when you start what you’d like to achieve and learn and we do our very best to ensure you get that experience.

    We offer full training and coaching as well as regular careers seminars.

  • Sorry, no. Please only apply for specific vacancies, posted here.

  • If you receive an interview and are subsequently unsuccessful, you are more than welcome to ask for feedback on your application. If you didn’t get an interview, we can’t provide feedback because of the high volume of applications we receive.

  • No. It’s more important that you have the required skills, experience and qualifications for the role.

  • All our internships are six months long.

  • Yes, sometimes. Please state this in your application.

  • We ask all of our interns to work a minimum of three days a week. However, we are more than willing to discuss flexible working arrangements, especially for reasons like study, caring responsibilities and similar.
