RTL Internship Programme 2016/2017

Right To Life is launching its internship scheme for 2016/2017. The purpose of this programme is to introduce student right-to-lifers and new graduates to the world of the right-to-life movement and its work in Westminster.

Successful applicants will be able to work in the right-to-life office in central London, on the cutting edge of contemporary pro-life research and campaigning in the UK. They will be introduced to the UK Parliament, and to the creative world behind effective behind-the-scenes right-to-life activism.

We are looking for strongly-motivated individuals who feel they can contribute to the right-to-life cause on beginning-of-life (abortion; embryo-destructive research and practice) or end-of-life (assisted suicide; euthanasia) issues and bioethical controversies. Areas of work can include:

  • Media (e.g. online content, press relations)
  • Research (e.g. academic, statistical, political)
  • Digital (e.g. web design, videography, photography, copy-writing)
  • Project Management (e.g. campaign strategy, event organisation)

Those doing or possessing degrees (or who have experience) that is most relevant to our work will have an advantage, but we will discern the best candidates according to character also.

All RTL interns are given a specific campaign area on which they will work, and are paired with a senior member of staff for mentoring. The time of internships is flexible, though we anticipate high demand in Reading Weeks and between Academic Terms.

If you would like to apply, please e-mail info@righttolife.org.uk a covering letter detailing why you would like to intern at RTL, and attaching a CV. We will respond promptly to all candidates, and those successfully considered will be offered an interview either in Westminster or via Skype.

Good luck!

​​Dear reader,

On Friday 29 November, MPs narrowly voted to support Kim Leadbeater’s dangerous assisted suicide Bill at Second Reading.

But this is only the first step - there’s still time to stop it.

An analysis published in The Independent shows that at least 36 MPs who supported the Bill made it clear they did so only to allow time for further debate or they have concerns that mean they won’t commit to supporting the Bill at Third Reading.

With the vote passing by a margin of 55, just 28 MPs switching their stance to oppose the Bill would ensure it is defeated at Third Reading.

With more awareness of the serious risks, many MPs could change their position.

If enough do, we can defeat this Bill at Third Reading and stop it from becoming law.

You can make a difference right now by contacting your MP to vote NO at Third Reading. It only takes 30 seconds using our easy-to-use tool, which you can access by clicking the button below.
