Bedfordshire is the first force in the country to offer paid internships to undergraduate students. Since 2014, we have run a 10-week summer intern programme, in which we invite up to 15 students to join us over the university summer break. Following its success, we launched our sandwich placement scheme in 2017 that allows 5 undergraduates into the force for up to a 10-month (39 weeks) sandwich year placement.
As part of the online application students will be asked to complete a 500 word summary of why you wish to work with us at Bedfordshire Police, what skills you can bring and how you would like to develop. Following on from this, if shortlisted you will be invited to an assessment centre which will consist of a variety of group activities and one face to face interview at the end of the day. This will be in the early part of 2019.
The Summer Internship will run from 8th July to 6th September 2019.
