Overview

Blue Ventures is an award-winning marine conservation organisation working to rebuild tropical fisheries with coastal communities.   We’re committed to protecting marine biodiversity in ways that benefit coastal people. We work in places where the ocean is vital to local cultures and economies, and where there is a fundamental unmet need to support human development. As a social enterprise, we organise marine conservation expeditions in which volunteers from around the world join us to support our projects in Madagascar and Belize, working closely with our field research teams and in partnership with local communities. Our expeditions combine conservation research, education and adventure travel to give volunteers high quality and productive conservation tourism experiences that benefit host communities.

This position offers an exciting opportunity to gain work experience for an award-winning expedition and conservation organisation. We are seeking an intern to join our London expeditions team, to develop skills and understanding of the coordination and marketing of our volunteer expeditions in Madagascar, Belize and new territories. The selected candidate will work with the Expedition and Volunteer Coordinator and the Managing Director to market our marine conservation expeditions and support our volunteers and expeditions teams with all aspects of administration and logistics. Candidates must be organised, enthusiastic, target driven and able to thrive in a dynamic and fast paced working environment.
