PIPS internships 2026

As the leading charity in the UK funding sepsis research, it is crucial that Sepsis Research FEAT communicates effectively about the studies that it funds – particularly regarding their impact to date. Audiences include the public, policymakers, donors, and the wider UK media.  

The charity is now actively seeking an intern to take a key role in the planning and delivery of a suite of high-quality research content for the charity’s website, which would be then published and pushed out across the charity’s communication channels. 

This is a fast-paced role with the opportunity to rapidly earn responsibility. The intern would take the lead on planning and creating up to 50 website articles, and drive delivery in co-ordination with our Chief Medical Officer and colleagues from communications, fundraising and marketing, ensuring the content was fit-for-purpose. This therefore provides project management experience in addition to the other editorial skills.  The charity is rapidly growing with a team of around 20+ staff and trustees plus nearly 200 active volunteers. A PIPS (Professional Internships for PhD Students) intern would quickly become a well-known and valued member of the growing team, able to make a significant and measurable difference quite quickly. Indicators of success would be in terms of articles published, audience numbers reached, and engagement on content shared. 

Alongside the editorial work we can offer additional opportunities to help get involved in the charity’s in-person events which include community fundraising efforts, conferences, and donor networking events.
