 | |  |  Working in a foreign country can give you a special insight of the culture and the people. And of course it means you'll be able to support yourself during your stay too. From working outdoors, on farms or conservation projects, to working in an office or hotel, there are many different ways you can gain an insight into the British working life. |
This site provides a listing of some organisations that employ foreign nationals for short periods.
Applications and requests for information should be made to the organisations direct. Early application is advised, as many projects may be full to capacity well in advance of the closing date. When writing to any organisation a stamped addressed envelope should be enclosed, or, in the case of enquiries from overseas, an addressed envelope with an International Money Order.
