12 Weeks. Real Impact. Real Earnings.

Summer Heroes is a different kind of summer role. It is fast-moving, team-driven, and built for people who want more from their summer than passive work and repetitive shifts. Across twelve weeks, you will work alongside ambitious people your age, represent national charities in public spaces across the UK, and develop skills that stay with you long after summer ends.
