Internships

James House offers internship opportunities for Social Work students. We take both local and international students.

Tasks will depend on the expectations of the university, and will be conducted under the close supervision of a social worker with at least three year’s experience. Tasks include:

• Casework – working with children and their families.

• Assisting social workers with their work.

• Conducting research.

• Working on a number of James House projects, including Residential Care, Isibindi (community-based care) and the Life Centre (youth development).

 The following criteria apply specifically to international students:

• The student needs to have a visa for the period prior to coming to South Africa. We will provide an acceptance letter prior to placement in order for them to apply for the visa.

• The students need to arrange their own accommodation and transport to and from the organisation.
