Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office (Consular Roles)
Consular
The British Embassy Tbilisi is part of a worldwide network, representing British political, economic and consular interests overseas. We are seeking someone to play a key role in providing consular assistance and services to British people living and visiting Georgia, for a one-year fixed term period.
What are you expected to do:
The Pro Consul role involves interaction with members of the public, and government authorities in Georgia and the UK. It requires building and maintaining relationships with external stakeholders and delivering campaigns to advise and inform the British public of risks overseas. You will also be asked to prepare for accidents and incidents involving British people in Georgia, as part of the Embassy’s crisis preparation work, and respond effectively where necessary.
Who we are:
The Consular team in Tbilisi is part of a Euro-Asia Consular region of twenty-nine countries, all working to the modern and efficient consular standards set by the UK’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO). This is a supportive and diverse team with a culture of continuous improvement and taking responsibility for personal learning and development. It values a diverse range of skills and backgrounds. You will be expected to contribute to these wider consular objectives, support the network’s positive working environment and actively participate in professional development efforts.
What are we looking for:
We are looking for someone who has prior experience in customer service, who is detail-oriented and able to work independently in evolving or sometimes difficult circumstances. Consular assistance is a challenging but very rewarding job that can offer new experiences and opportunities.
What the role entails:
Please note that some consular work can be in distressing or challenging circumstances, and some cases will attract interest from the media in Georgia or UK, and the UK parliament. You will be supported in your work by the Consul at the Embassy in Tbilisi, and by the Consular Regional Operations Manager.
