Internship in Innovation & Sustainability

Our Global Internship Programme in Innovation & Sustainability (#IP2TIS) offers a unique opportunity for passionate individuals to gain hands‑on experience in the pharmaceutical industry while making a positive impact on the world. Are you ready to join a global network spanning 20+ countries, where bright minds collaborate to tackle real-world challenges in Innovation & Sustainability? Do you want to work on impactful projects, shape the future and drive change from within?

As an intern, you will contribute to a project focused on strengthening mental health and psychological safety across the Roche Welwyn campus. The project builds on an existing foundation to help embed mental health support as a lasting part of workplace culture by expanding awareness, improving access to resources and identifying targeted wellbeing solutions for different teams.

Within your 3‑month term, you are expected to support the analysis of the Mental Health First Aid scheme, contribute to people‑leader resources, help deliver on‑site wellbeing events and interactive sessions and create a digital resource navigation tool. Your work will support Roche’s Work Environment priority by helping foster a more inclusive, resilient, and supportive workplace where people can thrive. This internship offers a rare opportunity to turn mental‑health advocacy into practical, visible change within a global organisation.

• Support the development of training materials and resources for people leaders to better support their teams.
• Facilitate awareness sessions and workshops that promote psychological safety and mental‑health awareness.
• Collaborate with local and global stakeholders to share best practices and align activities across teams.
