Diplomat

A diplomat represents the United Kingdom in other countries and at international organisations, working to promote British interests and protect UK citizens abroad. They engage in negotiations, manage relationships between the UK and other nations, and provide advice to government ministers. Diplomats may be posted to British embassies, high commissions, or consulates around the world, and often move between countries every few years. The role requires strong communication, problem-solving, and cultural awareness skills, as well as the ability to adapt quickly to new environments. Typical duties include attending meetings, reporting on political and economic developments, organising visits or events, and resolving issues affecting UK nationals overseas.
