Job opportunities at the Foreign & Commonwealth Office are published on our website and range from administrative to specialist roles.

Fair and open competition are at the centre of FCO recruitment. This is why we do not maintain a database of potential candidates, accept applications on a speculative basis or hold CVs on file to be considered for future vacancies.

The FCO in London does not recruit to specific overseas posts. Staff employed by our Embassies and High Commissions abroad are recruited directly by overseas posts.
