Crynodeb
Want to make a real difference for people and the environment? At the Environment Agency, we're looking for passionate individuals to help tackle some of the biggest environmental challenges.
Our 12-week summer internships, starting in June, offer hands-on experience while building skills that matter. This is more than an internship - it's an opportunity to learn, grow, and explore career pathways that could lead to your next big step.
Support you can count on: From day one, you'll have a mentor, office buddy, and access to training and networks to help you thrive. You'll join a career entrant community and a welcome event packed with learning and networking.
You'll work with experienced professionals in executive support, service transformation, digital communications, equality, diversity & inclusion (EDI), and legal services. These teams influence how we engage with stakeholders, deliver organisational change, and shape strategies that matter.
What you’ll do: Your work will vary depending on the team, but could include:
Supporting internal and external communications, drafting content, and managing SharePoint.
Coordinating projects and governance meetings for senior leadership.
Assisting with digital engagement and service design activities.
Helping deliver EDI and sustainability initiatives that improve how we work.
Analysing data and preparing reports to inform decision-making.
Contributing to transformation projects that modernise services and improve customer experience.
Assisting with legal research and litigation support, contributing to cases and projects that protect the environment.
You'll gain skills in communications, stakeholder engagement, project coordination, digital innovation, and legal research, while learning how a large public organisation operates.
Application Process
Apply online and share your skills, motivations, and interest in the role. Complete a Behavioural-Based Assessment (BBA) - an interactive, game-style test with practice options. Shortlisted candidates will attend one virtual interview. Full details, including support for neurodiverse applicants, are in the Candidate Pack.
The team
Our Business & Communications teams work behind the scenes to keep the Environment Agency connected and effective. From shaping external messaging and digital engagement to supporting leadership, driving organisational change, and providing legal expertise, these teams influence how we communicate, innovate, and deliver improvements. You'll join a collaborative, forward-thinking environment where creativity and problem-solving are valued, and where your contribution helps improve services for people and the environment.
Experience/skills required
We're looking for individuals who are curious, motivated, and eager to learn. You will:
Have an interest in communications, digital tools, project coordination, organisational change, or legal services.
Be organised, adaptable, and confident working in a team.
Demonstrate creativity and problem-solving skills.
Roles span multiple teams and could help you develop:
Skills in communications, stakeholder engagement, and digital innovation.
Project and programme support, data handling, and reporting.
Business planning, service design, and continuous improvement.
Legal research and governance experience.
Confidence using IT tools such as Microsoft Office; experience with Power BI or social media analytics is a bonus.
Experience doesn't have to come from paid work alone. Volunteering, sports teams, or social clubs all count.
