At FCDO Services, we protect the UK’s interests at home and overseas. We design and construct secure government buildings, courier diplomatic packages worldwide, safeguard government tech, and a whole lot more. Our work is as varied and vital as it gets, but we never lose sight of our people. Their skills, aspirations and growth mean as much as the mission we're on.
A brilliant organiser with excellent communication and interpersonal skills, you’re the sort of person who gets things done with positive efficiency. And when you join us, you’ll be doing all this and more as you support our vital global mission.
Key Responsibilities:
Supporting key stakeholders. Building on your organisational skills. Enabling organisational efficiency. Managing the CEO’s time and diary, including meeting requests, organising appointments, preparing agendas, collating briefings, and coordinating UK travel logistics. Managing emails, taking minutes for boards and committees, helping to arrange VIP visits, and potentially planning and accompanying the CEO on overseas visits. You’ll be a superb communicator with plenty of experience in a similar role, and your time and project management skills and attention to detail will make you a stand-out member of the team. It goes without saying that you’ll possess good judgement, tact and diplomacy, and in addition to the ability to deliver difficult messages and maintain the confidence of your colleagues, you’ll be capable of handling sensitive information with discretion. Self-assured, positive and calm under pressure, and ready to meet tight deadlines while working at pace, you should also possess excellent computer skills, with a particular focus on the MS Office suite of software. Discover the support you need to grow your career further. Expect to receive a competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement and a Civil Service Pension. You’ll also have access to training and other development opportunities to help grow your career with us. Our offices have an on-site gym, nursery, café, and restaurant, and we offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes to help you get there. Every single colleague must be security cleared before joining us. If you’re successful in your application, we’ll ask you to undergo our vetting process to achieve Security Check (SC) Clearance. It takes a diverse team to protect a diverse world. We support every individual, so that you always know you’re welcome and valued. It’s what makes us a Disability Confident employer and why we’re recognised as a ‘Carer Confident’ workplace. Closing Date: 07 January 2025 at midnight.
