**Job summary**:
The Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office pursues our national interests and projects the UK’s role in the world.

We promote the interests of British citizens, safeguard the UK's security, defend our values, reduce poverty and tackle global challenges with our international partners.

**Main Purpose of Job**

We are recruiting talented and enthusiastic individuals to be policy apprentices in the FCDO at Executive Officer (EO) level. No previous policy or Civil Service experience is necessary, as these roles are ideal for someone who is looking for their first policy job. You will support key phases of policy development, implementation and evaluation in an FCDO department. Your role and apprenticeship will be varied and rewarding. Alongside your day job, you will learn how to formulate policy and will develop crucial knowledge, skills and behaviours to become a policy professional.

These roles are an exciting opportunity to:

- Support international policy-making in either a geographical or thematic FCDO department, dealing with important issues;
- Make a positive contribution in a policy area; and
- Develop effective policy knowledge, skills and behaviours.
- Supporting the development of the UK government’s international policies through research, analysis, and consultation with key stakeholders.
- Providing support and advice to decision-makers such as senior managers, ministers or other key stakeholders.
- Handling critical parliamentary work (e.g. Parliamentary Questions and ministerial correspondence) and contributing to ministerial and other briefings related to your team’s policy areas.
- You may also be leading on discreet projects or programmes; arranging visits and/or conferences related to your team’s policy areas.

**Things you need to know**
- The typical duration for this Level 4 Policy Officer apprenticeship is 18 months. It will lead to a level 4 apprenticeship Certificate in Policy, which is equivalent to foundation degree level.
- Our policy apprenticeship roles are for those who are new to policy work. If you have already studied the level 4 Policy Officer apprenticeship, or are a graduate, this apprenticeship will not be suitable for you. Please see further details under the Person Specification.
- We are not recruiting for a specific departmental vacancy; instead, we will place you into a policy role based on our business needs. The positions are in London but you may also occasionally have to visit our offices in East Kilbride and/or Milton Keynes.

**Apprenticeship and Training**

We will enrol you onto a Level 4 Policy Officer Apprenticeship. Please click on the link below for further details about the course and modules:
Level 4 Policy Officer Apprenticeship

The qualification takes approximately 18 months to complete and will be made up of apprenticeship training and on the job learning at the FCDO. It leads to a level 4 apprenticeship Certificate in Policy, which is the equivalent of a foundation degree. You will spend a minimum of six hours per week of your paid hours on off-the-job apprenticeship related training and assignments over the planned duration of the training period (the practical period). The practical period is due to end at the gateway point before the end-point assessment. Throughout the programme, you will have ongoing support from your Apprenticeship Trainer and your FCDO Line Manager. We will also aim to allocate you a mentor who can offer you additional guidance.

**Further Personal and Professional Development**

The FCDO reward offer includes a variety of learning and development opportunities, flexible working wherever possible and a range of employee benefits which can be seen in the benefits section below.

Successful applicants will become part of a friendly and supportive team, where everyone is committed to diversity and encouraged to seek out development opportunities. In addition to the apprenticeship, you will also have access to our International Academy, which offers a wide range of Learning and Development (L & D) opportunities to enhance and/or develop existing skills.

**Job description**:
**Roles and Responsibilities**

These positions are Home Civil Service roles at grade EO in the FCDO, combined with a level 4 policy officer apprenticeship. Our EO roles usually provide a mix of policy support and professional office administration. In addition to policy work, you may be involved in programme management, budgets and/or customer services.
