Save the Rhino International (SRI) works to conserve viable populations of critically endangered rhinos in Africa and Asia. We recognise that the future of wildlife is inextricably linked to the communities that share its habitat. By funding field projects and through education, our goal is to deliver material, long-lasting and widespread benefits to rhinos and other endangered species, ecosystems and to the people living in these areas.

The Michael Hearn Internship is now entering its ninth year and offers the chance to work in a UK-based fundraising conservation charity as an excellent all-round introduction to the sector. The post is a one-year contract during which you will learn new skills in fundraising, events management and office administration. The ninth month of the Internship will be spent with staff from Save the Rhino Trust in Namibia, one of the field programmes supported by SRI.

The Michael Hearn Internship is open to highly motivated school leavers or those graduating from their first degrees in 2013 or 2014. Masters and Doctorate students are not eligible.
