Hours: Flexible (3 – 5 days a week) 
Location: Street Child London HQ (minimum 3 days per week in the office and the remainder at home) 
Pay: Appropriate National Minimum Wage 

Street Child are delighted to launch the next round of our associate scheme, with placements available for outstanding, highly motivated individuals looking to launch, or progress, a career in the humanitarian/development sector. The Street Child Associate programme is a fantastic entry-level opportunity to gain a breadth of experience whilst making a serious contribution to one of the UK’s fastest growing international development organisations - at a crucial time. 

This is not an internship where you ‘do the photocopying and make the tea’. You will be doing important, varied, hands-on work from day one. Moreover, Street Child has an unparalleled track-record of rewarding outstanding Associates with permanent positions in the UK team; and/or the opportunity to be seconded to one of our country programmes, for those considering a field-career in humanitarian/development. 

Associates will have the opportunity to build skills and experience across a breadth of core fundraising disciplines, as well as excellent exposure to the broader programmatic work of the charity, with opportunities for engagement. Key duties may include: research; proposal drafting, design and writing; supporter engagement; participant support & management (for our events & sponsored challenges); data management and administration; communication support (including social media). Prior experience in any of these areas is not essential but would be beneficial. What is essential is demonstrating outstanding aptitude, passion, and the desire to make an impact and progress your personal development, fast. Training is provided. 

This is a demanding role (lots of adverts say this, to be clear: here it is true) - and is suited to passionate, ambitious individuals who enjoy being busy, stretched and working hard (actually – again these are not just trite advert lines; this opportunity is only appropriate for those for whom this is accurate!). 

Associate roles are paid at the appropriate National Minimum Wage rate and are initially expected to work 3 – 5 days a week during the first 3 months. This arrangement may be positively reviewed at the 3-month stage, especially in the case of excellent performance. 

You would be primarily working from our Central London office. 

Key requirements: 

• Demonstrable passion for, and desire to build a career in, the international development/humanitarian sector; 
• Excellent inter-personal and communication skills; 
• Strong organisational abilities; 
• Super flexible, willing attitude - will excel at frequently moving between different tasks, as business needs dictate. 
• Strong academic results and qualifications (e.g. a relevant Masters) are naturally a significant advantage – but we will absolutely consider all engaging, passionate applications. Candidates who demonstrate superb writing abilities will be prioritised. 
• Diversity is important to us at Street Child. We especially welcome applications from, and expect to offer associateships to candidates with backgrounds typically under-represented in the sector and/or reflecting the communities we seek to serve. 

About Street Child:

Street Child believes that every child deserves the chance to go to school and learn. Our projects focus on a combination of education, child protection and livelihood support to address the social, economic and structural issues that underpin today’s education crisis. We partner with local organisations and communities to deliver our locally rooted programmes, using evidence to drive learning and the refinement and scale up of programmes to create maximum impact for the most children at the lowest cost. We pride ourselves on being willing to go to the world’s toughest places where others won’t, including remote, hard-to-reach areas and fragile, disaster-affected states across sub-Saharan Africa,  South Asia and Ukraine. Since 2008 we have helped over 1,000,000 children to be safe, in school and learning. 

How to Apply: 

To apply for this fantastic opportunity, please send your CV and a compelling covering letter as a combined/single document (max 3-pages) link listed.

About us

Changing the world takes passion and dedication

UWC is a global family of schools with a powerful difference. With a shared goal of working towards global peace and sustainability, we bring together young people from around the world to study in one of our eighteen schools on four continents. There they don’t just learn how to be great at passing exams. They learn how to communicate across cultural boundaries. They develop the skills to be a changemaker. They design and engage in initiatives that transform their lives and the lives of those around them for the better. 

Our students go on to become leaders in politics, NGOs, social enterprises, community movements, charities, and business.  For life, they remain dedicated to the UWC mission and many of them remain in close contact with us, their school, and their peers, becoming part of a global community of over 60,000 changemakers transforming the lives of others.
