“I enjoyed the variety of experiences offered by Open Hands, the opportunities I was provided with to grow and develop my skills and the privilege of being able to spend my time investing in people’s lives in a meaningful way.” – previous Open Hands intern

Giving a year to serve Open Hands is such a worthwhile cause. Open Hands is a charity that creates an environment of dignity and respect for those in need, meeting practical needs through food, furniture and clothing (along with many other projects) whilst also restoring hope that so many vulnerable people have lost. It is an amazing opportunity to invest in developing yourself and your skills (existing and new) whilst impacting a community in need.” – previous Open Hands intern

As an intern you will benefit from

  • an induction programme and supervision
  • internal training opportunities
  • an opportunity to grow in confidence and self-awareness
  • an opportunity to develop your interpersonal and employability skills
  • experience to enhance your CV

Whether you are a mature individual seeking to invest your experience, or a young adult looking for work experience, we would love to hear from you. Email admin@openhandsleicester.org.uk to receive an information pack and application form. We look forward to hearing from you.
