Events Intern

Mercy International Association – Dublin 2
Mercy International Association (MIA) has an opportunity for an Events Intern to join our team in Dublin city centre.  The internship commences in January 2027 for a period of 7 months, working circa 20 hours per week on a flexible basis. This Events Intern will work closely with the Events & Programme Co-Ordinator and will help with the planning and assistance with our in-person and online programmes and events, which engage Mercy communities, schools, and individuals from around the world in heritage, spirituality, and justice-focused experiences.

We’re looking for someone who:

• Has an interest in, and possibly experience, programme coordination, event planning, or administration — ideally in hospitality, education, retreat, or heritage settings.
• Is willing to learn and has strong organisation skills and attention to detail, with the ability to juggle multiple tasks calmly and efficiently.
• It would be very helpful to have strong digital skills, including using Zoom, Microsoft Office or Google Workspace, and possibly simple design tools like Canva.
• Is warm, welcoming, and committed to providing a hospitable environment aligned with Mercy values.
• Can work flexibly and collaboratively with a small, committed team (with some evening and weekend work possible)

An openness to the mission and heritage of Mercy and the life of Catherine McAuley is desirable.

If you're looking for a meaningful Internship where logistics meet mission, and where you will learn about hospitality and coordination skills and how to make a difference to people from across the globe, we’d love to hear from you. Send your cv and a cover note to riawhite@mercyinternational.ie;  The role pays €14.15 per hour and is based in Baggot Street, Dublin 2.
