The network encompasses approximately 140 staff, with over 10 different departments represented.

We are responsible for delivering across the breadth of the UK-Australia relationship, from security and defence to trade and prosperity, from consular and law enforcement to political and foreign policy, and from science and tech to agriculture and health, and more.

This role is based in the Executive Office of the High Commissioner and Deputy High Commissioner.

The job-holder will be responsible for the programmes and logistics for inward visits by UK ministers and VIPs to Australia.

Recent visits have included the Foreign Secretary, Culture Secretary and Ministers of State, and we anticipate a high volume of visits in the year ahead.

The job holder will also lead on event delivery in Canberra.

This includes supporting policy teams with organising and delivering small-medium scale events at the Residence and High Commission, and playing a vital role in the High Commission's large-scale flagship events (including our national day reception, end of year reception, and annual staff conference).

  • Provide logistics guidance and protocol support for senior visits outside of Canberra. Job holder may be required to travel as needed to support visits on the ground across Australia for VIP visitors, however majority of the work will be in Canberra.
  • Work closely with the Australian system including DFAT Protocol and other government agencies to facilitate the arrival of senior UK visitors.
  • Ensure that budgets for visits are managed carefully and in line with FCDO guidance, delivering value for money.

2. Events

  • Work closely with policy teams and residence team to deliver frequent events including dinners, receptions and networking events. Ensure strategic vision for events is deliverable, reasonable and good value for money.

  • Experience in protocol.
  • Experience with supplier relationship management.
