How Our Organisation Works – and How You Contribute
Our funding areas and cross-functional teams work closely together. Teams such as Communications, Human Resources, IT, Finance and Controlling, and Grant Management provide a stable and reliable framework that enables our funding areas to develop and implement projects. Together with our partners, we work to create positive change in society and help shape the future. We see ourselves as one team in which every contribution matters. Every role plays a part in helping the Foundation achieve its goals.
As a working student or apprentice, you can apply what you are learning in your studies or vocational training directly to your work at the Foundation. This creates a rewarding combination of theoretical learning and practical experience, and that is where your particular strength lies.
What makes working or training with us special is the opportunity to grow with us, with support from day one. Step by step, you will take on new tasks, develop your potential and gain confidence in your abilities. We trust you and give you the space to try things out, learn and grow.
For further details about the role and your responsibilities, please see the relevant job posting when a position is available.

To help you get off to a great start, we place a strong emphasis on structured onboarding, with a variety of topics and events, close support throughout your time with us, and opportunities to connect and build relationships within your team.
We know that flexibility is particularly important for young people balancing academic or vocational learning with practical experience. That is why we offer flexible working hours that can be adapted to different circumstances and individual needs.
In addition, you can benefit from a range of financial benefits, health and wellbeing programmes, and mobility benefits.
