Interns
The council is offering a term of internship programme
for anyone interested in learning what we do. The programme
would allow recent graduates to work as volunteers in
the Church and Society Department in Edinburgh for up
to 15 weeks.
This would give you the opportunity to develop skills,
gain experience, add to your CV, and have a source of
job-based references. It would also provide a way of working
at the meeting point of faith and life, religion and society,
church and state. We are involved in policy, campaigning
and lobbying work on the environment, education, migration,
defence, and much more. If you are interested, or know
of someone who might be, please let us know. For more
information email the department:
