- Contributing to social media posts (Facebook, Twitter and Instagram), and designing images using graphic design software (Canva, Photoshop, InDesign)
- Drafting content, including case studies, short web articles, press releases, supporter emails, case studies, etc
For the right candidate, this could be a wonderful opportunity to gain a wide range of skills and make a positive contribution to a growing organisation which is carrying out outstanding work in Lawra, Upper West Ghana.

If this is you, we would love to hear from you!
This is an unpaid voluntary position, but we will be willing to cover any travel expenses and fund external training opportunities where they are appropriate. This role is also a remote position – the candidate will work 2 days per week from home – but when government restrictions are lifted some work in the UK Office (Ramsbury, Wiltshire) or the Inclusion Centre (Lawra, Ghana) would be possible, if desired (this is not compulsory). Flexible working hours can also be discussed.
This internship is a minimum of three months, ideally beginning in April/May, with the possibility of extension. Objectives will be set at the beginning of the placement, making use of relevant skills and experience and focusing on areas of interest.
We believe our work and our team is stronger and more capable of amplifying the voices of the community we serve in Lawra, by encouraging applicants for this role from Lawra as well as internationally, and by ensuring diversity of representation, skills and experience. ATE is committed to equal opportunities. However you identify, we would like to hear from you.
