The Kalisher Trust / Sentencing Academy Internship

The Kalisher Trust and the Sentencing Academy are delighted to offer the opportunity for an outstanding candidate to undertake an internship at the Sentencing Academy. The internship, paid at the London Living Wage (currently £10.85 per hour), will run for 30 weeks from September/October 2021 and will involve a commitment of a minimum of 15 hours per week.

Supervised by a representative of Kalisher, as well as the Sentencing Academy, the intern will provide research assistance and conduct other work for the Sentencing Academy. In addition, the intern will produce a larger piece of research which will be published, under their own name, by the Sentencing Academy.

Towards the end of the internship, this work will be presented at a joint Kalisher/Sentencing Academy event. Whilst the Sentencing Academy promotes flexible working practices – and some remote working will be possible throughout the duration of the internship – it is expected that the majority of the work will be conducted at the Sentencing Academy’s office in central London (subject to prevailing Government advice).
