Things you need to know

Artificial intelligence

Artificial intelligence can be a useful tool to support your application, however, all examples and statements provided must be truthful, factually accurate and taken directly from your own experience. Where plagiarism has been identified (presenting the ideas and experiences of others, or generated by artificial intelligence, as your own) applications may be withdrawn and internal candidates may be subject to disciplinary action. Please see our candidate guidance for more information on appropriate and inappropriate use.

Selection process details

This vacancy is using Success Profiles , and will assess your Behaviours.

Applicants should provide a cover letter, and a current CV. Applicants should pay particular attention to outlining their interest in the role, relevant experience and how they meet the criteria as defined in the person specification.

Failure to submit both a CV and a cover letter will mean we only have limited information on which to assess your application against the criteria.

Depending on the volume of applications the recruitment team will undertake a longlist exercise where they will score CV's and personal statements against the person specification on a 3 point scale.

The panel will assess and score your application in order to select those demonstrating the best fit with the role by considering both the evidence you have provided against the essential criteria set out in the 'Person Specification' section and the detail within your CV. Failure to address any or all of these may affect your application.

If you are shortlisted, you will be asked to take part in a series of assessments which may include psychometric tests and staff engagement assessments. Full details will be provided at the time. These assessments will not result in a pass or fail decision. Rather, they are designed to highlight areas for the panel to explore and support and inform the panel's decision making at interview.

Shortlisted candidates will have the opportunity to speak with a representative of FCDO Services prior to the formal interview to find out more about the opportunity and the organisation. This will not form part of the formal assessment process.

Shortlisted candidates will be asked to attend a panel interview, to have an in-depth discussion of previous experiences and professional competencies in relation to the criteria set out in the 'Person specification'. It is likely that a presentation will also be required at the interview. Full information will be provided to those invited.

Should you encounter any issues with your application please contact:

[email protected]

For a confidential discussion to help inform your application, please contact our recruitment advisors at Sanderson Government and Defence:

[email protected]

Feedback will only be provided if you attend an interview or assessment.

This role has a minimum assignment duration of 3 years. An assignment duration is the period of time a Senior Civil Servant is expected to remain in the same post to enable them to deliver on the agreed key business outcomes. The assignment duration also supports your career through building your depth of expertise.

As part of accepting this role you will be agreeing to the expected assignment duration set out above. This will not result in a contractual change to your terms and conditions. Please note this is an expectation only, it is not something which is written into your terms and conditions or indeed which the employing organisation or you are bound by. It will depend on your personal circumstances at a particular time and business needs, for example, would not preclude any absence like family friendly leave. It is nonetheless an important expectation, which is why we ask you to confirm you agree to the assignment duration set out above.
