Shelter Centre is an NGO sharing and generating knowledge about shelter, settlement and reconstruction. Shelter Centre supports a global community of practice, following conflicts and disasters. Our work links humanitarian, developmental, governmental, and donor organisations. Shelter Centre is made up of highly qualified, multidisciplinary professionals, passionate about humanitarian practice. Our unique positioning and specialised expertise allow us to reach across traditional discourses to strengthen humanitarian operations.
Shelter Centre is currently looking to recruit interns to assist in our small but dynamic NGO, which itself plays a central role in global humanitarian response.
This position will be on a full time basis. Shelter Centre is not currently in a position to remunerate this internship. Candidates will have to bare their own accommodation and living costs and must also be able to commit themselves for a minimum of one month.
Successful applicants will undertake an ongoing series of Shelter Centre programme deliverables, such as for example assisting in the creation of a Shelter and Settlement Library, develop policy and technical guidance in collaboration with other humanitarian partners, as well as assist in the delivery of the first inter-cluster common humanitarian technical training.
This internship is also a unique and exciting opportunity for individuals seeking to gain invaluable experience into the way in which smaller NGOs and indeed larger Organisations operate.
All intern positions are located in Geneva and last for a minimum of 1 month. To apply, please send your CV and a cover letter in English, including your availability to recruitment@sheltercentre.org ensuring the subject of your email states ‘Voluntary Internship Application’.
