Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (Consular Roles)
Consular
The British Embassy in Paris is part of a worldwide network, representing British political, economic, and consular interests overseas. It is also part of the UK’s France Network including offices in Lyon, Bordeaux and Marseille and representation to international organisations in Paris (OECD and UNESCO) and Strasbourg (CoE).
The UK’s consular assistance offer is explained in our publication Support for British Nationals abroad: a Guide.
Helping British people living, travelling, and working around the world when they are most in need and responding rapidly to crises are Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (FCDO) priorities. Consular and crisis work touches the lives of British people in difficult and sometimes extreme circumstances, and this is one of the few ways that the British public comes in to contact with the FCDO. Consular and crisis jobs are, therefore, some of the most rewarding in the FCDO but also some of the most challenging.
We are looking for someone to join our Paris Embassy consular team as a Pro-Consul. We are seeking an independent, dynamic, and detail-oriented individual with prior experience in a public-facing role. The jobholder will play a key role in providing modern and efficient consular assistance and services to British people living in and visiting France. The successful applicant will work as part of a France-wide consular team alongside colleagues based at the British Consulates in Bordeaux and Marseille.
The role will involve interaction with members of the public and with local and UK authorities. It will require building and maintaining relationships with external stakeholders and agencies and contributing to targeted prevention activity to advise and inform the British public. And ensure they have support when they find themselves in vulnerable situations. You will also be asked to prepare for major accidents and incidents as part of our crisis preparation work and to respond to crises where necessary. As well as being a member of the FRABELUX (France, Belgium, and Luxembourg) consular sub-region and wider Euro Asia Network the jobholder will support the delivery of the FCDO’s Consular Strategy.
With over 165,000 British residents and over 12 million British visitors annually, the consular operation in France is one of the busiest in Europe.
