United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland: Deployments / Administration Officers for Standby Roster

Application deadline: 8 June 2016

**** Please note that due to the stringent nature of the security clearance required by our office, all applicants must have physically resided in the UK for the last 5 years; with the exception of short term travel under 90 days **

Our business:

Crown Agents provides deployments, administrative and other support services to the UK Stabilisation Unit (SU). The SU is a cross-government unit supporting UK government efforts to tackle instability overseas. It is physically located in the Foreign and Commonwealth Office, King Charles Street, London SW1. See www.stabilisationunit.gov.uk for more information on the SU.

These roles:

We wish to add a significant number of people to our existing standby roster of security cleared deployments / administration officers. We call on members of the standby roster as and when the need arises, for additional deployments or administrative work in support of the SU. We are looking for highly able administrators who are prepared to be security cleared in advance of potential need, and who if contracted will be able to work in a busy and responsive team at the heart of government. Periods of work could range from a few weeks to, potentially, a permanent role.

Roles are likely to be UK-based, working from Whitehall. There is no guarantee that membership of the roster will result in the offer of work. But membership of the roster makes a work offer more likely because security clearance, which can take several months, has already been obtained.

The work involves supporting the SU as it serves the rest of Government (particularly DFID, MOD, FCO) in its efforts to tackle instability overseas. Roles are likely to be one or more of the following:
