Working Patterns:

In principle, Office hours are 0900-1730, Monday to Friday. However, you will occasionally be asked to work outside of office hours (e.g. for an early morning or late pick up) depending on the week. It is desirable for you to be situated near the embassy (within 1h distance by public transport). Overtime will be paid with salary or by time off in lieu (you can take leave on an alternative date). 

基本的な業務時間は月曜日から金曜日の9時から17時30分ですが、週により早朝もしくは夜間の送迎など、通常の業務時間外の業務が発生する場合もあります。このため公共交通機関で1時間以内の通勤圏内であることが望ましいです。勤務時間外に業務が発生した場合は、残業代、もしくは振替休日・勤務時間調整制度を選択し相殺頂きます。

Learning and Development Opportunities (and any specific training courses to be completed):

The British Embassy offers comprehensive learning and development opportunities that will be fully available to the jobholder.

Each year the job holder will be encouraged to use 5 development days to pursue job related and personal 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.
