Working for British Embassy Ljubljana

General information

The British diplomatic presence in Slovenia consists of the British Embassy in Ljubljana. Staff at the mission fall into two groups:

  • UK-based staff: career diplomatic staff, employed directly by the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO) in London, and sent to work at posts abroad for periods of 3-5 years

  • locally employed staff: local residents, employed in accordance with local employment law and practices

If you are interested in career opportunities as a UK-based officer with the FCDO, please find further information at the FCDO recruitment page.

Vacancies for local staff employed directly by the British Embassy in Ljubljana are rare. When positions become available, they are always listed on our website.

Please be aware that there are limited opportunities for promotion or progression, however, staff are encouraged to apply for other vacancies within the Embassy as they arise.

Internships

The Embassy doesn’t offer internships.

Students at UK universities who are British nationals and are considering a career in the Diplomatic Service can apply to the FCDO in London for a placement under the FCDO placement scheme or a variety of other schemes run by other government departments.
