British High Commission Visits and Events Officer – Jobs in Pretoria – South Africa
Main Purpose of Job:
This is an excellent opportunity to play a prominent role in the work of the British High Commission in South Africa. The jobholder will work with two other Visits and Events Officers to support incoming UK visitors to South Africa during South Africa’s G20 Presidency year
Roles and Responsibilities:
You will work in collaboration with the other two Visits and Events officers, as well as with colleagues from across the UKinSA network, to provide planning and logistics support for a regular drumbeat of visitors from the UK during South Africa’s G20 Presidency year (Dec 2024 until Nov 2025).
This will range from a full support package for ministers and senior government officials, to an advisory service for lower-level visitors (with the exact level of support dependent on competing priorities).
The support you provide will include organizing recces to different venues, devising suitable transport plans with our transport team, arranging accommodation, liaising with the relevant team on security arrangements and being on standby to support during the visit itself. On the visitor’s arrival and departure, you may also be supporting them with check in and ensuring their luggage and passports are managed smoothly. And you will clearly communicate planning progress to colleagues throughout, so that everyone can keep track of preparations.
You may also work occasionally with the Department of International Relations and Co-operation (DIRCO) on protocol arrangements, including liaison with State
Protocol Lounges at South African airports and managing a roster of volunteers able to assist with airport meeting-and-greeting responsibilities.
