Are you interested in a career in international affairs? Where you can make a difference as part of a fast-moving, high profile and international environment? Curious about what trade relations between the UK and Germany look like in practice? Then join us at the UK’s Department for Business & Trade (DBT) in Germany

We are looking for an Assistant to provide administrative support to the Deputy Trade Commissioner for Europe in their dual role as Country Director for the Department for Business & Trade (DBT) team in Germany.
