This unique partnership between the BHF and Macmillan Cancer Support provides incredible exposure to the sector. You'll gain hands-on experience across a wide range of functions in two of the UK's leading charities, and the chance to make vital connections.

Each year we’re looking for four recent graduates. To be successful, you'll need to show us that you are passionate about making a difference and ready to take on responsibility while working with others. We want graduates who are excited by the prospect of making a real impact on others' lives. You'll need to be accountable from day one, and hungry to learn from those around you.
