We are offering 4 paid internships to support the running of this year’s Inter Faith Week. This is an exciting opportunity to support the development of Inter Faith Week in its new era, whilst getting hands-on experience in the charity sector, specifically in interfaith, community engagement, and events/project coordination.  

Inter Faith Week is an annual initiative held each November. It aims to strengthen interfaith relations, increase awareness of the diversity and contributions of faith communities across the UK, and foster understanding between people of different religious and non-religious beliefs.  In 2025, Inter Faith Week delivery is being overseen by a consortium of interfaith organisations: the Faith & Belief Forum, United Religions Initiative UK, All Faiths Network, Council of Christians and Jews, NASACRE, Mitzvah Day and Faiths Forum for London.

The role offers valuable skill development, training and development opportunities, and a chance to make a real impact on communities work across England, by amplifying and celebrating the voices and work of young people and grassroots interfaith work around the country. This is a fantastic role for a highly organised and proactive individual, with a passion for supporting interfaith work in the UK.
