- Co-ordinate monthly checks of visa and consular stocks as required.
- Manage Chancery’s entertainment budget, tracking spend, agreeing forward entertainment expenditure plans with teams, and seeking DHM approval for higher value spend, ensuring that the final outturn is within 95% of the funding allocated.
- Provide wider support to Chancery colleagues as required, and make a corporate objective for the wider Embassy (for example, joining the Green Committee or Staff Wellbeing and Inclusion Committee).
- Provide leave cover for the Executive Assistant to HMA as required.

The above list is not exhaustive and the jobholder will be required to be flexible and take on other ad hoc tasks as required, including participating in the Embassy’s emergency planning and any other response to a crisis affecting UK citizens.
