The British Government’s Embassy in Washington DC has an exciting opportunity for a proactive and enthusiastic person to join HM Revenue & Customs (HMRC) Fiscal Crime Liaison Network (FCLN) as the Assistant Liaison Support Officer for the Washington DC Office.
HMRC is the UK’s tax, payments and customs authority: we collect the money that pays for the UK’s public services by helping the honest majority to get their tax right and making it hard for the dishonest minority to cheat the system. The FCLN is the international arm of HMRC’s work to tackle the dishonest minority. The FCLN posts Fiscal Crime Liaison Officers (FCLOs) overseas to work closely with international partners to reduce the threat to the UK from fiscal crimes such as offshore tax evasion, tobacco smuggling and money laundering. The FCLOs in Washington DC manage this relationship with the USA and Canada.
As the Assistant Liaison Support Assistant, you will provide essential support to the 2 FCLOs based in Washington DC as well as the FCLN Americas and Caribbean Regional Manager. You will work closely with the Liaison Support Officer (LSO), assisting them to administer the office including in the management of finances, calendars, vehicles, travel and meeting schedules.
The ideal candidate will be a strong, approachable communicator and be able to build relationships with a cross-section of people. They will be comfortable working with IT in an environment where priorities can change at short-notice and be able to operate in a highly organised way.
The US Network offers a unique career enhancing opportunity and is committed to supporting its staff through a variety of benefits including generous leave, insurance packages and a highly competitive 401k programme. It also promotes a culture of flexibility which enables people to better maintain wellness through an excellent work/life balance approach, including flexible hours, where possible. In this role you would be working in a diverse international environment to support UK diplomats, armed forces personnel and other country-based staff operating across the British Government’s network of Consulates and Government Offices in the United States. This network provides a platform for approximately 30 Government departments and agencies to conduct their work in the United States and is made up of over 900 staff with a rich and diverse background, skill sets, and experiences.
Due to the nature of this role, it is not able to be carried out at home.
