Geneve, Schweiz Foreign & Commonwealth Office Vollzeit

Job Description (Roles and Responsibilities)

**Who are we?**

The United Kingdom Mission to the United Nations (UN), World Trade Organisation (WTO) and other organisations in Geneva represents the interests and policies of the UK across a range of multilateral issues.

**Main purpose of job**:
The internship offers a unique opportunity to join the Communications Team and to develop your communications skills in an international context. The focus will be on social media and digital communications but you will also gain experience across the full range of communication disciplines - media handling, stakeholder engagement and more.

This is an exciting internship where creativity, a passion for social media and political awareness can be combined to deliver engaging content in support of important policy goals.

The Mission works with the full spectrum of organisations/agencies in Geneva on issues including human rights, global health, trade & economics, cyber and humanitarian. Your work will be varied: one week you could be supporting the UK’s priorities at the UN Human Rights Council and the next, you could be working on a WTO Ministerial Conference. Whilst we strive to be as proactive as possible with our communications, the nature of our work means that we are looking for someone who can also thrive in a reactive, fast-paced environment.

The UK Mission in Geneva prioritises dignity and respect at work. We value respect, inclusiveness, empowerment, teamwork and kindness.

**Learning & Development**:The UK Mission Geneva attaches great importance to the learning and development of its staff, with both formal and informal training and development opportunities available for all employees, in line with a personalised development plan. This learning and development offer is facilitated by the Mission’s L&D Committee, and supported by the L&D Champion.

**Roles and responsibilities**:
Social and digital media: content creation, generating ideas, publishing, management of channels, evaluation - 70%

Media monitoring and reporting - 20%

Opportunity to get involved in other areas of the Mission’s work (depending on your interests) - 10%
