How to Prepare

For Nigerian and African immigrants already based in the UK with the right-to-work, focus on tailoring your CV to highlight any UK-relevant academic projects, volunteer work, or part-time roles that demonstrate transferable skills. Ensure your LinkedIn profile is up-to-date and showcases your professional aspirations and connection to the UK job market. While professional registrations like NMC PIN or DBS checks aren't typically required for internships, having strong academic references from UK institutions or employers will be beneficial.

Craft a compelling cover letter that clearly articulates your academic background, your motivation for pursuing an internship in the UK, and how your skills align with the demands of a dynamic professional environment. Even for UK-based applicants, explicitly state your right-to-work status to reassure employers. For those without immediate UK status but considering applying, your cover letter should briefly acknowledge your situation and express your proactive steps towards securing the necessary permissions, if applicable, although this role primarily targets those already eligible.

• Ensure your CV is in a UK-friendly format, emphasising relevant academic projects and any work experience.
• Update your LinkedIn profile to reflect your professional goals and UK job market readiness.
• Prepare a cover letter that articulates your academic achievements, motivation, and right-to-work status.
• Gather strong academic or professional references that can speak to your capabilities.
• For UK-based candidates, clearly state your right-to-work status in your application materials.

Visa Sponsorship & Foreigner Eligibility

Visa sponsorship is NOT advertised for these internships. UK-based applicants with existing right-to-work are preferred and explicitly required. Foreign applicants without current UK right-to-work may still inquire directly with Jenza to confirm their eligibility or potential pathways, but should be aware that sponsorship is not a stated offering. It is crucial for any applicant whose status is borderline to confirm their eligibility directly with the employer before applying.
