We're recruiting for our Manchester Pride 2023 Intern with the University of Manchester! 

We asked Eve, our Manchester Pride 2022 intern, about her experience...

"My Student Experience Internship at George House Trust has undoubtedly been the highlight of my time at the University of Manchester."

I gained experience and solid examples of work in an industry I’d never been involved in before, and probably would not have had a chance to learn about if not for this internship.

If you think you might be interested in marketing and events planning, I cannot recommend this job enough. You need to think on your feet and come up with fun and creative ideas. Whatever you put in, George House Trust will give you back tenfold, and I personally found this an amazing way to learn.

This is a real stand-out example of work experience and the breadth of the job gives you so many great stories to use in later interviews, particularly to show employers your values and character – this is not just a rainbow parade, it is a platform for people living with HIV to feel valued and celebrated in the community.

If you’re not familiar with George House Trust (I wasn’t!) ask around, and you will see how respected their name is and how valuable the support they offer is to people who need it.

For me, highlights of the internship were creating a social media campaign for George House Trust’s presence at Pride, working with external graphic designers to do so; content creation to raise awareness of HIV; and, of course, the Pride Parade itself.

I was fortunate enough to work with amazing drag artists and DJs from Manchester to put on a fantastic show, and it was evident how much this meant to George House Trust’s service users."

"If you want an internship that’s more than filling out spreadsheets, will give you a taste of marketing and event planning, and, most importantly, is hugely fulfilling and really matters, this is the job for you."
