Dear Students,

 

Please find the following details regarding a curricular internship opportunity with the British Embassy to the Holy See.

 

The British Embassy to the Holy See is offering a six-month curricula internship, starting on 2 November 2023, at our their offices near the Vatican, in Via dei Corridori 48. The British Embassy to the Holy See is a small but highly active embassy. There is a friendly team that places a high value on supporting all the staff, including interns, with their professional development goals. This is a unique opportunity to gain insight into different aspects of an embassy’s work, from events planning and administration to policy research and reporting, as part of a supportive team.

 

The Embassy is looking for a professional, motivated and organised individual with a drive to learn, strong attention to detail and a good knowledge of international affairs and who would be proud to serve the UK’s interests by working with the Vatican on some of the major issues the world faces today.

Your work will include daily monitoring and reporting on such issues to the Ambassador and Deputy, as well as contributing to the embassy’s political work by conducting research, for example. You will also assist with other projects, such as support with translations, as required. You will support the Ambassador’s Private Office in delivering a high-quality service through administrative tasks, such as managing the embassy inbox. Social events, big or small, are integral to meeting our diplomatic objectives. As our intern, you will support the Social Secretary with events, from lunches and reception to high-level events and delegations.

TERMS AND CONDITIONS: The ‘tirocinio curriculare’ is intended for students still registered with a local university to complete their education/studies. The candidate will go through a selection process by way of an interview, both written and oral. Only applicants who are registered students with the university for the duration of the internship are eligible to apply. Prior to appointment of the successful candidate, the Embassy will sign an agreement (Convenzione di Tirocinio) with the university setting out the arrangements including tutor, health and safety and insurance cover. The intern will be granted a number of credits (crediti formativi) as indicated by the university. The internship is not a work contract and as such is not paid. However the Embassy will pay the intern a monthly allowance of €350 per month. This amount is not subject to tax under current local legislation. The intern would be expected to work an average of 30 hours per week, Monday to Friday, within the range of 9.00 am – 5pm. Some degree of flexibility is expected, mostly in case of events. Flexibility is ensured by the embassy to accommodate the intern’s need in case of university exams or personal reasons. Other administrative details are set out in the university ‘progetto formativo’ to be signed once appointed to the internship.
