Internship Programme
Theos offers internship opportunities throughout the year. We are committed to providing a stimulating work experience for people interested in public theology. Interns are a valued part of the organisation and are given a wide range of tasks and responsibilities, including a combination of research and administrative tasks. The internships are usually unpaid.
Helen Falconer completed her internship at Theos in April 2008 and writes:
My
Theos internship was certainly a ‘hands-on’ experience from the start,
which made a great change from the usual ‘filing and tea-making’ style
of internship! I was really made to feel like a valued member of the
team and was given responsibility for interesting projects that I felt
I could really get my teeth into. The Theos team were very welcoming
and there was always a constant stream of interesting visitors to the
office which meant I gained a sense of what Theos did on a wider scale.
Having just finished my degree, my time at Theos has helped me shape an
idea of what I would like to do in the future and equipped me with
invaluable research experience.
Faith Pilgrim completed an internship at Theos in June 2007 and writes:
The Theos internship was one of the best I have ever done. It was interesting, challenging, stretching and very rewarding. To be part of a small team of people allowed me to get stuck in and take responsibility for relatively large pieces of work. I was able to attend a wide range of meetings and events. This provided me with a real insight into how public theology is done and helped to re-enforce my belief that this is an increasingly important discipline. Working at Theos has helped prepare me for my finals and life beyond University.
