Don't see a posted role above? These skills move our work forward every season. If one of them is yours, write to us — the role can be shaped around the right person.

• Public relations and media — story angles, press outreach, interview preparation, and placing the stories of our students, teachers, and communities.
• Content and social media — writing, photography, short-form video, and content planning from real campus material.
• Grant writing and research — finding funders who fit, drafting proposals, and building the evidence base behind them.
• Fundraising and development — donor relationships, campaigns, and the follow-through that turns interest into support.
• Finance and operations — bookkeeping support, budgeting, systems, and the unglamorous work that keeps a small charity running cleanly.
• Web, UX, and data — improving our website and pages, user experience, and organising the data behind our outreach.
• Architecture, engineering, and construction — design review, infrastructure questions, and technical guidance for future campuses.
• Education — teaching experience, curriculum thinking, and school partnerships as our campuses grow.
• Translation and captioning — helping our stories travel across languages and formats.
• Events and community fundraising — hosting gatherings, runs, and campaigns, and helping the people who host them succeed.
• Legal and governance — contracts, compliance, and the questions a growing board and charity need answered well.

Student internships (ages 16+)

Remote, part-time, unpaid internships for students, supervised by a named Thinking Huts supervisor with a weekly check-in. A few hours a week, agreed in advance and flexible around the school calendar. We provide service-hour (CAS / service-learning) documentation and, on successful completion, a completion letter and letter of recommendation. Applications are rolling through the school year.

This holiday season we are launching food and scholarship patronages for the Honeycomb Campus; this year's interns help tell that story and build the launch.

Content and Social Media Intern

Draft and schedule social posts from campus photos and updates; cut short video clips; help plan a monthly content calendar; track what resonates. Learn nonprofit storytelling, brand voice, and basic analytics. Good for: students interested in media, marketing, film, or communications.

Public Relations and Storytelling Intern

Research journalists and story angles; draft pitch notes and press materials; help prepare interview briefs; support the newsletter. Learn how stories are placed, persuasive writing, and research discipline. Good for: students interested in writing, journalism, politics, or law.

Brand Partnerships and Development Outreach Intern

Research companies and foundations aligned with our mission; prepare one-page partnership proposals; help maintain contact records and follow-ups. Learn relationship-building, professional outreach, and how fundraising works. Good for: students interested in business, economics, or social enterprise.

Design, Web and Research Intern

Create graphics in Canva or Adobe tools; help improve website pages and user experience; research education data and countries requesting schools. Learn design for a real brand, web basics, and structured research. Good for: students interested in design, computer science, or architecture.

Service projects — for students, clubs, and groups

For students and clubs who want service rather than an internship: help with a holiday campaign, run a school fundraiser or awareness week, translate and caption content, or take on a defined short project with a clear end date. Groups are welcome — a club can adopt one project together. Service hours are documented.

Board and advisory service

Thinking Huts also welcomes board and advisory interest from people with strong networks and experience to share. Tell us in your note if that is the conversation you would like to have, or use the application form linked from our site.
