**Job summary**:
The British Indian Ocean Territory (BIOT), one of the UK’s 14 Overseas Territories, is a unique set of tropical islands in the centre of the Indian Ocean. It is uninhabited save for Diego Garcia, home to an important UK-US military facility.
- The BIOT Administration, the government of BIOT, is composed of staff seconded from the FCDO and other departments of the UK Government. Some of its members sit in BIOT; the rest operate from the UK, where they sit alongside the Overseas Territories and Polar Directorate of the FCDO.
- The BIOT Migrants Team was created in 2021 in response to the unexpected arrival of a group of migrants from Sri Lanka, who subsequently claimed the equivalent of asylum. The team works to ensure that these claims are assessed in accordance with international law, and that the migrants are properly looked after in the interim. The ultimate objective is to resettle those migrants with valid protection claims in a safe third country, and to return those whose claims are not upheld to Sri Lanka. The migrants have launched a series of overlapping legal challenges against the BIOT Commissioner and the Foreign Secretary.
- Within the team you will be responsible for leading all aspects of operational delivery, ensuring that the migrants are properly looked after and that the camp is fit for purpose. Should the camp need to be expanded or moved, you will oversee this process. You will give guidance to the two Camp Managers, and solve new problems as they arise.
- You will oversee the team of four managing the processing of the claims for international protection made by the migrants. You will be responsible for the development (where needed) and oversight of relevant administrative processes.
- This is an exciting and dynamic job. The role is about developing policy to respond to the many new challenges as they arise; the camp managers and contract staff manage more day-to-day issues.
- The BIOT Migrants Team strives to be friendly and supportive. We have a diversity of ages, departmental backgrounds and professional experience. We encourage a good work-life balance. The post holder will be encouraged to use this role to support their future career, with activity tailored, so far as possible given the demands of the role, to support their interests and development needs.**Job description**:
In this role you will be responsible for:

- Leading the migrant operations team, in DG and based in London:

- Line management of 2 camp Managers deployed to DG and the Deputy Head of Operations (all SEOs) with countersigning responsibility for the Decisions, Returns and Information Officers (all EOs).

- Support work of BIOT police in investigations implicating or affecting migrants or contractors, including breaches of the Restriction of Movement Order, and any potential criminal proceedings impacting on the migrant community.
- Ensure high quality delivery of all migrant operations, adapting processes as needed and contributing to development of new policies as required
- Advise on camp maintenance and future needs and supporting the movement of people and resources to BIOT to fulfil them.
- Lead on proposals and, if approved, implementing changes to the camp structure and layout, mitigating ongoing litigation and legal challenges.
