  • Provide relevant advice to the Deputy Head of Mission (DHM), Director of Corporate Services, and Deputy Director of Corporate Services, as necessary.
  • Work with Corporate Services (CS) management to help develop and implement the purpose, objectives, and ways of working of the team.


The above list is not exhaustive, and the jobholder will be required to be flexible as specific responsibilities could change in the future and this would be at the discretion of the line manager.

The job description may be reviewed to meet changes in business needs.

The jobholder may also take on other ad hoc tasks as required, including participating in the Embassy's emergency planning and any other response to a crisis.
