Global Health and Digital Media Internship

iheed Institute is an Irish social enterprise dedicated to supporting and promoting innovation in global community health worker training using mobile technology and digital media. We are seeking to fill an exciting intern position at their offices in Co. Cork for a period of initially 3 months. We are looking for a candidate of exceptional ability and flexibility who is willing and able to contribute in a fast-paced start-up organisation now less than two years old. Good presentation skills, energy and commitment are a pre-requisite but the personal rewards will be high and experience invaluable. We are particularly interested in candidates with experience and some technical knowledge of digital media and an interest in mobile technology. A background in and familiarity with the issues of Global Health is required and field experience from a developing country would be a distinct advantage.

Reporting to the Chief Executive Officer, this intern role will be very varied and interesting. It will equip the successful candidate with experience in continuously evolving a digital media strategy for iheed; planning and delivering digital media projects; supporting mobile and/or web-delivered distance training and content development projects; supporting the planning, promotion and delivery of their annual Global Leadership conference for the sector.

The internship is a rare opportunity to contribute in an early and fast moving sector, learn from experienced professionals and develop relations with some of the biggest organisations and players in the not-for-profit and Global Health and technology and mobile sectors. The candidate should be available AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

This is not a salaried position but there are some supports with accommodation covered and funds for food etc.
