Our business:
Crown Agents provides deployments,
administrative and other support services to the UK Stabilisation Unit (SU).
The SU is a cross-government unit supporting UK government efforts to tackle
instability overseas. It is physically located in the Foreign and Commonwealth
Office, King Charles Street, London SW1. See www.stabilisationunit.gov.uk
for more information on the SU.
These roles:
We wish to add a significant number of
people to our existing standby roster of security cleared deployments /
administration officers. We call on members of the standby roster as and when
the need arises, for additional deployments or administrative work in support
of the SU. We are looking for highly able administrators who are prepared to be
security cleared in advance of potential need, and who if contracted will be
able to work in a busy and responsive team at the heart of government. Periods
of work could range from a few weeks to, potentially, a permanent role.
Roles are likely to be UK-based,
working from Whitehall. There is no guarantee that membership of the roster
will result in the offer of work. But membership of the roster makes a work
offer more likely because security clearance, which can take several months,
has already been obtained.
The work involves supporting the SU as
it serves the rest of Government (particularly DFID, MOD, FCO) in its efforts
to tackle instability overseas. Roles are likely to be one or more of the
following:
  • Assisting
    with the contracting and deployment of Deployable Civilian Experts to a
    variety of conflict-related roles either in the UK or overseas,
    particularly in countries in conflict
  • Assisting
    with the maintenance of a database of Deployable Civilian Experts
  • Assisting
    with financial administration
  • Other
    administrative support related to the above

experience:
  • Degree
    level education or equivalent experience
  • Proven
    ability in accurate, high quality administration
  • Good
    communication skills with the ability to build effective relationships
  • Demonstrable
    organisation and time management skills, and aability to work under
    pressure
  • Experience
    in relevant work such as conflict-related, humanitarian or government is
    desirable.
