Payment Terms
To secure your placement on the project, you will need to complete and submit the application form with your application payment of £195. If for some reason your application is not accepted, we will reimburse this payment fully. However, for those who are accepted, you will need to make a deposit payment of £120 GB pounds which will be returned to you at the successful completion of your internship (if you leave early/don’t complete your internship, this will not be returned).
Once we have confirmed your place, you will receive an information package on the project background, your role as an intern, the work you will do, suggested items to bring, how to travel there and so on.
Project Dates
Interns are requested to come for at least a two-month stay (8 weeks) from February to October with an option to extend to 6 months. That way, you will be able to wean any babies that you raise during the baby season (April to August). Between November and January, we require a 4 week minimum commitment.
We do accept interns for six months or longer should you wish to engage in such a programme. Interns interested in pursuing tenures of six months or longer will be given special consideration toward working in Bear Rehab though other criteria – so please do apply!
When applying for the dates below, please use these as a guideline, you can arrive at any time of the year (you can specify your preferred dates in the motivation letter section on the application form) and please also send contacts of two referees by email once you have applied to Victoria.mcneil@workingabroad.com
**Please note that currently we are not accepting any more interns – please watch this space for further updates**
