We are happy to offer a variety of flexible working patterns, including non-standard working hours, working remotely or working compressed hours. However, due to the nature of the role, there will be a requirement for occasional out of hours work around events, visits and management of guard force.

An allowance is also included in the salary for out of hours emergency incident work and for providing assistance to UK based staff members and out of hours checks on the guard force.

The FCDO also operates an agile workforce. To facilitate this, you may be required to undertake other duties from time to time as we may reasonably require.
