The Diplomat
The Embassy of Ireland in Spain is seeking expressions of interest from suitably qualified candidates for the role of Honorary Consul in Barcelona, as published on its website, where the forms and informative documents can also be found.
The Honorary Consul in Barcelona will help the Embassy in the promotion of Ireland through the fostering of strong relationships in Spain, and will have a particular focus on providing consular support and services to our citizens abroad.
The role of an Honorary Consul is by definition honorary, and as such is not salaried and does not have pension entitlements. However, given the additional workload, a further financial contribution may be made in respect of administrative costs.
Potential candidates must be legal residents in the region of appointment, and must be fluent in both English and Spanish. Our ideal candidate will have familiarity with the Spanish and Irish administrative systems, a strong interest in or connection with Ireland, and an involvement with the Irish community in the region.
For those interested in more information, full details of the position and how to submit an expression of interest can be found in the document linked here.
Expressions of interest, together with a CV, should be sent to the Embassy at madridembassy@dfa.ie with the heading “Honorary Consul Expression of Interest – Barcelona” by close of business on 7 February.
