I honestly don’t see what’s ironic about it. It’s obviously a non-profit, which usually operate with volunteers and interns. At least they’re being honest about the internship being unpaid in the title rather than leading people on.
A lot of people reacting here with a "But they're a Charity, so they most be good people" clearly are unfamiliar with the problems of Unpaid Internships in London and the scammy nature of so many UK-based Charities nowadays, especially the kind that's based in London, has junior "Personal Assistant" positions and whose "charitable objective" is the same as their name, a "painfully obvious bad thing", in a part of the "good will market" that's not yet saturated (such as for example the fight against hunger would be) and for a problem so broad that them having no measurable impact is justifiable and which is a problem that will never be totally solved - the entire thing reeks of a "business" set up by a Politician or MBA to pay themselves vast fortunes as CxO by preying on the good will of well intentioned people.
I lived for over a decade in London and that whole advert rings several alarm bells in my mind.
You didn't really just compared voluntary charity work with enforced slavery? I mean … honestly!
You can believe anything you want to. We're living in a post-reality timeline.
Did I deny that?
If I wanted to be a pain in the patootie I would say you had.
Idk, I don't think an unpaid internship can be considered slavery since you can voluntarily sign up for and quit it at any time.
Prison labor OTOH....
A intern is not a slave like a university team member isn’t an athlete.
College athletes are athletes.
Exactly. Pretty sure that's what they were saying.
It's hard to pick up on such nuance.
Facepalm
