Main purpose of job:
UK diplomatic posts overseas are at the frontline of a UK government response to an overseas crisis affecting British people and interests. This role focuses on ensuring that our staff have the right plans and skills to be able to respond to a range of different crisis scenarios. Within your region you will be responsible for understanding the risks that different posts face and their overall preparedness and providing support and advice to help them improve their ability to respond.
You will champion the Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office’s (FCDO) clear crisis management methodology and training products, supported and directed by the FCDO Crisis Management Department (CMD) based at headquarters and working closely with regional crisis leads and consular staff. As one of the two Regional Crisis Advisers for the Asia Pacific region, you will have opportunities to work together and will both be an important part of the Asia Pacific Consular and Crisis leadership team. You will feed into broader consular policy in the region and role modelling the Asia Pacific Consular Network leadership values.
The role is open for candidates to be based at either the British Embassy Jakarta, Manila, Bangkok or Kuala Lumpur. There will be opportunities for travel to deliver training and advice in your region known as Asia Pacific North. Subject to change and depending on your base, the locations in your region could include Cambodia, China, Japan, Korea North, Laos, Mongolia, Myanmar, Thailand, and Vietnam. Given the regional nature of this role you, you will need to be available to travel frequently across the Asia Pacific Region.
At these posts you will need to be able to form close working relationships with your colleagues at all levels and experience, prioritising posts with the greatest need for support. You will benefit from excellent learning and development opportunities, which will allow you to deepen your crisis management skills as well as a supportive network of colleagues both in HQ and our global network.
Roles and Responsibilities:
You will be one of two Regional Crisis Advisers covering the Asia Pacific region (the other is based in Melbourne).

The British Embassy offers a competitive remuneration package, including salary (will be abated for those not liable to tax), benefits, a leave entitlement, health insurance and comprehensive development programme based upon business need and individual staff requirements.
Learning and development opportunities:
FCDO’s International Academy Consular and Crisis faculty.
The British Embassy Bangkok encourages all staff to develop their capabilities, through both formal training (courses) and informal (job-shadowing, coaching, on-the-job training etc.). The majority of our formal L&D opportunities are drawn from FCDO resources. All staff are encouraged to share their skills and experience with colleagues, through informal training (‘lunch & learn’) or coaching/mentoring. All staff are eligible for 5 L&D days a year.
Working patterns:
This is a full time role – 36 hours/week, Monday to Friday.
We are currently operating a hybrid working pattern with at least 60% of the time being spent in the office.
The Embassy has a smarter working policy and is committed to offering flexible working patterns balanced with the operational requirements of the role. In crisis/emergency situations you may need to work as required to support the Embassy response, sometimes on a shift pattern, which may result in unsociable hours and/or weekend working.
As an inclusive employer we are happy to discuss alternative working patterns at interview or at the point of any job offer.
Other Information:
Employment offers are subject to successful clearance of pre-employment and security checks. Staff who are locally recruited by the British Embassy are subject to Terms and Conditions of Service according to local employment law.
No accommodation or relocation expenses are payable in connection with this position. All candidates must be legally able to work and reside in the country of the vacancy with the correct visa/work permit status or demonstrate eligibility to obtain the relevant permit. Any costs related to obtaining or renewing permits and visas are the responsibility of the successful applicant.
Employees who are not liable to pay local income tax on their Mission salary may have their salaries reduced by the equivalent local income tax amount.
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.
