The British Embassy Network offers a strong benefits package. This package includes generous vacation and leave time, flexible working patterns, and enriching learning and development opportunities.

**Learning and development opportunities**:
The UK Government actively promotes Learning and Development (L&D) across all departments. There will be ample opportunities for the job-holder to develop, both within the areas directly relevant to your role, and more widely in a number of areas that may be of interest to you. The Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office has a dedicated L&D team, as well as a Diplomatic Academy which leads on developing and organising dedicated training in policy areas. The FCDO ring-fences an annual allocation of five days that officers can devote to L&D activities, and the High Commission provides an annual L&D budget to which all staff can apply.

**Working patterns**:
The British High Commission and Consulates General have established a hybrid work stance. We are committed to supporting employees with the necessary tools to work effectively from home and in the office. The nature of this role will occasionally require working outside normal work hours (for which we have a Time Off In Lieu policy) and/or outside Ottawa.
