The Natural Capital Initiative has two volunteer opportunities to assist the Secretariat in the planning and running of its activities. Volunteers would need to commit a minimum of three days per week. Each placement would be for a minimum of two months full time equivalent and for a maximum of three months full time equivalent. Volunteers will help:

•Investigate topics related to NCI work themes (volunteers are likely to need to work on multiple work themes)
•Assist with the organisation and running of NCI events
•Assist with the preparation of reports and articles
•Assist with administrative tasks

One volunteering period would be expected to start in summer 2010. The other would be expected to start in the autumn of 2010. NCI partner offices are in Oxfordshire and Central London. Wherever possible, volunteers will have an opportunity to choose their primary work location. Lunch expenses and limited costs for travel between partner offices will be available, subject to prior agreement.

Further details about these opportunities, the knowledge and skills required of applicants and how to apply, are available from the internship advertisement, which you can download from the British Ecological Society’s website.

Closing date: 21st April
Interviews to be held in London on 9th June.
