• Previous experience within international organisations or other multilateral organisations is desirable.

This is a country based staff position at the UK Mission to the United Nations, at the British Embassy in Vienna; it is not a diplomatic designated position. The position is subject to the terms and conditions of British Embassy employees.

This is a full-time (35 hours per week) fixed-term contract, to cover a maternity leave period, until the current job-holder returns to the role. Working hours are flexible and staff are entitled to time-off-in-lieu for extra hours worked. The annual leave entitlement is 25 days per year pro rata and the Embassy also enjoys 14 Austrian / UK public holidays per year and we are committed to ensuring a work / life balance.

The cost of the Vienna yearly transport ticket is reimbursed (prorated for months in the role), 

This position is based around formal and informal meetings of Member States of the IAEA and CTBTO. These take place in person, frequently and unpredictably, which would make it difficult to maintain a formalised flexible working pattern without impacting on the other members of our small team. We support the use of informal flexible working arrangements to help staff manage their time and their work-life balance. Team members regularly work from home or remotely in line with the current flexible working policy and operational requirements.

The monthly salary will be €4,633 gross, payable 14 times a year (prorated for 13th and 14th month as applicable). You will receive your salary minus social insurance deductions and are expected to comply with Austrian tax obligations through completion of a tax return to the Austrian authorities. However, in some cases you will receive an abated salary where dual taxation agreements apply. Further information will be given at the recruitment stage.

The successful candidate will be subject to confirmation of a background check and security clearance. It is the applicant’s responsibility to ensure they are legally able to work in Austria. The Embassy is not able to assist with any visa or sponsorship arrangements.

 Staff recruited locally by the British Embassy are subject to terms and conditions service according to Austrian employment law.

Visa / Passport requirements: Candidates must currently hold the independent right to live and work in Austria and be prepared to ensure that right remains throughout the scope of the contract. Please note that it is your responsibility to ensure you meet the legal requirements to live and work in this country.

Learning Opportunities: A blend of learning opportunities will be available including shadowing, mentoring, and both formal and on the job training.

Please note that the deadline for applications is 23:55 on the day mentioned in the above field “Application deadline”.

We advise you to allow enough time to complete and submit your full application, since only applications completed and submitted before the deadline will be considered.

Please be aware that the deadline for submitting applications is considered to be the time zone for the country where the vacancy has arisen.

Please be advised that the British Embassy will not be able to meet the travel costs incurred when travelling to the interview, nor the costs connected with relocation if offered a position.
