View Vacancy – Economic Intern

• Must have the legal status to live and work in Jamaica
• Employees who are not liable to pay local income tax on their Mission salary, e.g. some non-local national staff and some spouses or partners of UK diplomatic staff, will have their salaries abated by an equivalent amount.
• Appointable candidates who were unsuccessful may be placed on a ‘reserve list’. If during the reserve period of 12 months the same or a largely similar role becomes available, that role may be offered to the second or subsequent candidate.
• This role is predominantly office-based, however a hybrid working arrangement can be discussed upon appointment.
• References, preferably professional, will be requested upon offer of employment.
• The FCDO operates an agile workforce. To facilitate this, you may be required to undertake other duties from time to time as we may reasonably require.
