Jobs at Terre des Hommes

To be eligible for an internship, you must be enrolled in a relevant degree program (ideally, you should have completed your undergraduate studies). Prior experience in the internship's field is desirable. The minimum internship duration is 12 weeks. We typically pay a stipend of €250 per month. You will generally have a regular work week from Monday to Friday, 38.5 hours per week, which we can arrange flexibly. In some departments, events may occasionally take place on weekends. Part-time internships may also be possible by arrangement.

Our interns receive an orientation at our headquarters in Osnabrück or Berlin (depending on their location) during the first few days and are provided with the necessary technical equipment. The majority of the internship is then coordinated in close consultation with colleagues, alternating between on-site and remote work. Interested applicants must therefore have access to internet for remote work.

Current job postings for working students can be found on our career website. A valid certificate of enrollment is required for employment. Our working students support us on a temporary basis with overtime, special tasks, or projects. Contracts are generally for a minimum of 3 or 6 months, but no longer than one year. If student status is still valid, an extension is possible as needed.

The pay is €15 per hour. During the semester, you can work up to 20 hours per week. During semester breaks, longer hours are possible by arrangement.
