The Cabinet Office is now recruiting for the 2010 Summer Placement Scheme

The Cabinet Office is now recruiting for the 2010 Summer Placement Scheme, a 6 to 9 week paid work placement that runs across June and August 2010.

It is open to undergraduates and graduates who are disabled*.

The scheme offers an introduction to the interesting and varied challenges across the Civil Service. Interns are placed in a wide range of Government Departments and through the scheme are able to develop the skills and abilities required to join the Fast Stream, a graduate entry route for senior Civil Service careers.

Interns receive a competitive weekly training allowance and if required, reasonable adjustment support throughout the life of the scheme.

Applicants must have a minimum of an expected (or awarded) 2:2 degree in any discipline. Some of our placements look for people who have an economics degree or are currently studying economics (or a joint degree where 50% of their course modules are in economics) or their degree contains some statistical content.

The application period will open on 2 November 2009 and close on 4 January 2010.
