If we think you might be a good fit, we’ll invite you to a short 15-minute chemistry call so we can get to know each other a bit better. After that, you’ll be invited to spend a morning at our hub on a trial basis, getting a feel for the environment and the kind of work you’d be doing. If it feels like the right fit on both sides, we’ll officially offer you a place on the internship programme.
