UK starts hiring staff as Brexit looms

THE UK government has started to recruit staff to the EU Exit Emergencies Centre (EUXE), which will be in charge of monitoring the situation in the country after Brexit, local media reported yesterday, citing a governmental department briefing notes.

The Guardian newspaper managed to see notes by the Department for Environment,

Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) to recruitment agencies. According to these notes, the EUXE could operate “potentially for two years.”

Potential employees should be able to “see the emergency trends with little or no information and act appropriately at pace” and “make sound, logical judgments based on possibly incomplete or imperfect information.”

Defra offers at least three posts: briefing, liaison and situation emergency officers. | ANA
