Other British Government Departments (Partners across Government, including UK Visas)
UKVI (UK Visas and Immigration)
Main purpose of job:
Do you have what it takes to coordinate a large department’s business support systems across multiple regions? Read on! This is an exciting opportunity to join the British High Commission in South Africa, working within a dynamic and fast-paced team. UK Visas & Immigration (UKVI) is an operational arm of the UK Home Office, delivering the UK’s visa service to millions of customers across the globe, and this key management support role sits within UKVI’s “International Network”.
UKVI’s International Network (circa 50 staff) is spread across the globe, responsible for our stakeholder and customer engagement activity, and the assurance of our front-end supplier contracts. From South Africa, you will support its leadership team. The Head of the International Network for Africa is based in Pretoria, co-located with UKVI’s Decision-Making Centre (DMC) in South Africa, where a team of 100+ staff conclude visa applications from across the region. Reporting directly to the Head of Region, you will undertake a full and challenging Business Management function on behalf of the International Network and provide local support to the Head of the DMC in South Africa.
The incumbent will be responsible for developing and delivering a wide range of support services, and appropriate systems, that enable the global International Network to operate efficiently and effectively. You do not need to have managed operational activity of large teams, but you will know how to provide planning and management support services to sustain operational delivery and be able to demonstrate this.
This will include:
The job holder will deliver consistent, high-quality advice and support to the UKVI International Network Senior Leadership Team (SLT) across the globe, ensuring they receive everything needed to develop, increase, and sustain the team’s performance and drive continuous improvement. The Business Manager will provide leadership and guidance for several support staff across multiple regions.
As a member of the International Network SLT, the Business Manager is expected to champion UKVI’s wider organisational strategy, and feed into creating and delivering a shared vision for the future of the Network.
You will be required to work independently across teams in other regions, with virtual interaction to collaborate with colleagues in different time zones. Some travel will be required. We need a confident and organised self-starter who is proactive. Please only apply for this position if you can demonstrate the necessary experience and are motivated by the unique challenges this role presents!
