Overseas Security Advisers

Joining a small team, you will deliver specialist security and risk management advice and recommendations to the FCO’s Head of Security, Heads of Posts and other departments. Giving security guidance and assistance, you will determine security policy as a matter of routine and, more specifically, during crises. From people to buildings, assets and information, you will be charged with ensuring the FCO is protected from a range of threats, including espionage, terrorism and crime. You will play a key role in supporting expeditionary diplomacy enabling the FCO/HMG to project our diplomatic influence globally, safely establishing new diplomatic Missions in fragile environments. You will write clear, concise reports to justify your recommendations and provide advice to a wide selection of people, including senior level FCO staff, Partners across Government, senior foreign embassy staff and host nation representatives. You will travel regularly overseas, around 100 days a year. This is an exciting opportunity to change, impact and protect the UK from a wide range of threats.
