The International Criminal Court (ICC) is a security conscious  organisation, and its security environment is influenced by a wide range of factors.
Employees (and other people who work and/or engage with the Court) have access to ICC buildings and a variety of sensitive material such as information, assets and resources that are at risk from a range of threats, and one of the mechanisms available to protect the Court is vetting.
Using vetting, the Court is able to obtain a level of assurance that its staff (and other people who work and/or engage with it) have integrity and are free from any conflict of interest, or vulnerability that could threaten or compromise its work, or the safety and security of its staff or any other persons under its care.

The Personnel Security and Investigations Office is looking for an Intern to assist in the day to day running of the office and its core business. The incumbent will be responsible for:

• Assisting with the core administrative tasks associated with vetting
• Completing open-source research/analysis/investigations
• Assisting with the risk assessment processes associated with vetting
• Communication with candidates and external agents as required.
• In addition, the incumbent will assist the Personnel Security Officer with developing new strategies aimed at improving efficiencies in the vetting process or other project work as required.

• All Candidates must have a degree in communication/media or related field or be in the final stages of their studies at a recognised university. Candidates are expected to have a very good record of academic performance.
