INTERN/ RESEARCH VACANCIES

Grant Programme Intern - Immediate Start
CARA’s core work is the provision of grants to support refugee academics to undertake academic or professional qualifications to improve their employment prospects in the UK. This is an exciting time to join the programme team as CARA has recently been awarded funding from the European Refugee Fund to develop a new employment advice service for refugee academics. The service will provide tailored advice to refugee academics about suitable training and employment routes in conjunction with grant allocation.

The CARA grant programme intern will support the work of the grant programme team ,employment guidance service, and office manager. This is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic individual to make a real contribution to a small and busy charity and to get involved in a range of tasks.

Iraq Programme Intern - Immediate Start
In 2006, CARA launched its Iraq Programme, including Fellowship and Hardship Schemes to run in parallel with its Core UK Grants Programme. The Iraq Programme has enabled CARA not only to assist Iraqi academics who have sought refuge in the UK since 2003, but to reach out to those who fled to neighbouring countries or who remain at risk in Iraq.

The Iraq Programme Intern will be responsible for supporting CARA’s Deputy Executive Secretary in all activities relating to the Iraq Programme. CARA was recently awarded a grant to set up a project operating out of the Middle East. This is therefore an opportunity to play a central role in the development of an exciting new initiative.

This is a full-time internship for 3 months.
