This role is advertised as a 12-month fixed term contract.
Working Patterns:
Full time and office based. 37.5 hours per week. Due to the nature of this role the job holder may sometimes be expected to support events in the evening and very occasionally at the weekend, with duties shared among the whole team.
The British Embassy Tokyo supports and promotes flexible working as a crucial part of our inclusive offering. This particular role allows for flexibility in start and end times, working compressed hours, remote working (for agreed periods), and the possibility of a job share arrangement, subject to agreement with management.
The successful candidate would need to be willing to flex to work for longer hours and occasionally at weekends during busy periods. The Embassy operates a TOIL (time off in lieu) system to compensate for any additional hours worked during busy periods.
Current policy permits working from home one day per week without a formal flexible working arrangement.
Applicants must possess or be able to secure a local work permit.
Learning and Development Opportunities (and any specific training courses to be completed):
The majority of development will be on the job – this role is part of a busy and highly-skilled team working to deliver very high volumes of events and VIP visits in the historic Residence.
The British Embassy offers comprehensive learning and development opportunities that will be fully available to the jobholder. We regularly run both work area specific training, as well as more general skills development in project management, finance, and leadership. Each year the job holder will be encouraged to use five development days to pursue development goals.
All staff are required to take a role in the embassy’s crisis preparation and response. Full training will be provided for this, and regular opportunities will be available to test and develop your skills.
