2 weeks ago

Pretoria, South Africa Foreign & Commonwealth Office Full time

Job Description (Roles and Responsibilities) 1

**Purpose of the role**:
The British High Commission (BHC) to South Africa oversees the UK Government’s operations in South Africa across the following locations:

- The British High Commission Pretoria (BHC)
- The UK Visas & Immigration Office in Pretoria
- The UK Department for Business and Trade in Johannesburg (DBT)
- The British Consulate General Cape Town

The BHC Security Team is based largely in Pretoria and is overall responsible for delivering security services to support the work of the Mission in the above locations.

The role of the Post Security Manager is to support the Regional Overseas Security Manager in managing security for the BHC offices, UK diplomatic staff and their families, country-based staff when at work and all those on our premises. The security team also has a Security Operations Manager based in Pretoria with whom the Post Security Manager will work closely with, each having independent and varied responsibilities and line management roles.

The role includes ensuring that appropriate security measures are implemented at the British High Commission offices and that BHC buildings, assets and information are protected. The security team ensure staff are receiving and following correct security advice and procedures and that staff working in the mission offices have the required security clearance to access buildings, information and maintain access control.

The role requires an individual who is flexible across all of these areas and who can demonstrate high standards of professionalism and deliver a high-quality service. The jobholder will need to be willing to work flexibly to help others, take on different tasks where work pressures may be heavy, cover leave absences, attend to emergencies, assist in providing security at events and provide support during high level visits. This can involve occasional security related calls in the evenings and weekends, for which a mobile phone and allowance is provided.

Whilst the role is based in Pretoria, the jobholder will be part of a security team which covers all of South Africa and may therefore need to work remotely to these other locations on a range of security tasks. The individual will likely need to travel to Johannesburg and Cape Town which will be funded fully by the British High Commission. An official vehicle is also provided for daily work in Pretoria and Johannesburg. Occasionally there will be the opportunity to travel to Eswatini or Lesotho to support the ROSMs work there.

**The role is ideally suited to someone who**:

- Has managed a variety of security situations, working to keep people safe.
- Enjoys being part of a very busy team but can work independently with little supervision and able to help cover for the head of department and others in their absence.
- Has strong administrative and IT skills including Excel. Has experience managing a budget with good project management skills.
- Is a good communicator and people-person, who takes pride in good service and enjoys working in a busy team.
- Has some crisis or emergency management experience.

It is essential for the jobholder to have a valid driving licence as driving (in a company vehicle) to locations is required. A valid passport would also be required.

Previous experience of working in a security services team at management level or other similar management experience is preferred.

**Roles and Responsibilities**:

- Provide thorough security briefings for new diplomatic staff spouses/partners, in country staff members and official visitors in line with agreed timetables. In addition to certify CBS vetting documents on induction and assist with vetting clearances. Ensure staff and official visitors are adequately trained and have attended the required security training. The ROSM leads on the UKB briefings and content however there may be times when she is not available.
- Managing and organising tasks required in the security department to support the overall objectives of the security department including report gathering, information analysis, responding to incidents, access control measures or supporting officers in official visits and events, managing contractors, tracking progress and good record keeping.
- To manage office and property security upgrades and repairs in line with procurement policy and to check security works before sign off. To meet security contacts and build up strong connections to gather relevant security reports and information. To gather regular and relevant crime reports for areas where our UKB staff and families live or where all staff travel to in order to help keep staff apprised of the crime situation. To meet the G4S and other contract managers for KPI meetings and other updates and oversee extra guarding or security requirements as needed.
- Arrange and carry out various incident drills in line with FCDO protocols that will generally involve guarding contractors and the
