At FCDO Services we protect the UK’s interests at home and overseas. We design and construct secure government buildings and courier diplomatic packages worldwide, safeguard government tech and a whole lot more. Our work is as varied and vital as it gets, but we never lose sight of our people. Their skills, aspirations and growth mean as much as the global mission we’re on. In our world, it all matters.

For our organisation, the safety and security of our teams and our information is more than a want, it’s a must. That’s what makes our Corporate Governance team so vital. They’re the people either supporting health and safety at home and overseas or protecting vital data. By following best practices, balancing interests, managing risks and upholding policies, they protect our organisation. Now, you've got the opportunity to join them.

Lead the implementation of our health and safety strategy. When you join us in this vital role it’ll be your task to manage a wide range of Health and Safety management activities, and provide constructive expertise to our contractors, customers and all areas of our global organisation. Designing and deploying relevant policies and procedures, and delivering clear advice relating to the work we do, you’ll use structured audit and inspection methods to monitor and review compliance with our policies, ensure procedures are in place and enforced, and provide improvement and development support. But your work won’t stop here; you’ll work on projects and project bids, and offer advice to senior management, product and service delivery teams and contractors on compliance with our safety management systems. We’ll also expect you to lead on the Health and Safety aspects of engineering operations, estates management and logistics operations, and forge positive working relationships with Trade Union representatives, safety support staff, regional managers, construction contractors and other stakeholders.

With a NEBOSH Diploma or equivalent, you should possess well-developed Health and Safety management experience relating to multi-site, multi-disciplined activities and remote worker management. Your inspirational interpersonal and communication skills will allow you to influence change and drive continual improvements while experience of providing safety advice and support in construction projects would be a bonus. The ability to support Health and Safety across a diverse range of global operations would also be desirable, as would Chartered Membership of IOSH.

But we’re always looking to improve just like you. That’s why when you join us, expect to receive a competitive salary, generous holiday entitlement and a Civil Service Pension. Along with this, you’ll also have access to training and other development opportunities to help grow your career with us. Our offices have an on-site gym, nursery, café, and restaurant, and we offer interest-free loans on season tickets and bikes to help you get there. It's a great set of benefits made to support all you do, and all you need.

Every single colleague must be security cleared before joining us. If you’re successful in your application, we’ll ask you to undergo our vetting process.

It takes a diverse team to protect a diverse world. The vital work we do takes an incredible community of colleagues, with different skills, backgrounds, cultures and identities. We support every individual, so that you always know you’re welcome and valued. It’s what makes us a Disability Confident employer. And why we’re recognised as a Carer Confident workplace. And it’s how you know you’re joining an inspiring, inclusive organisation.
