Paid One Year Internship At London Office
The Cabinet Office invites “Bermudian graduates to apply for a paid one-year internship within the Government of Bermuda London Office.”
A Government spokesperson said, “Successful applicants will gain invaluable experience in assisting on the Government’s portfolio in the UK and Europe. This will also include first-hand experience assisting Bermuda’s diaspora on matters relating to Consular Affairs; engaging with other Overseas Territory Governments, the UK Government, and Parliament; and an opportunity to gain exposure in the UK and EU market through Government and Private Sector relationships.
“This paid internship is for two interns from October 2023 – September 2024, inclusive. The successful interns can expect to gain well-rounded international career exposure, with practical hands-on experience working alongside the Government in its portfolio within the UK and EU.
“Applicants must hold Bermudian status, hold a valid British Citizenship Passport, and be a recent graduate at least at the undergraduate level. Housing allowance and travel stipend will be provided, and successful applicants will be required to live in London or the surrounding areas in London.
“This internship program was initially launched in July 2016 by the Government of Bermuda’s London Office and the Department of Workforce Development. Its purpose is to provide Bermudian graduates residing in the UK with exposure to the UK and EU markets through government and private sector relations.
“To apply for the internship, interested candidates should visit www.govtcareers.gov.bm. The application deadline is 7:00 pm local Bermuda time on 2nd August 2023.”
Hang on, they must have Bermudian status for a position hired under UK employment law. How is that even legal?
I was thinking exactly the same thing. Isn’t it bad enough that Bermuda abuses its own xenophobic employment law, without starting on forward thinking UK.
JOBS FOR BERMUDIANS. Yeah whatever, jobs for people that deserve the job. Especially in England.
