After the Second World War, Dean was head of the German Political Department (Foreign Office) in the Foreign Ministry between 1946 and 1949, attached to the British Control Commission in occupied Germany, which reformatted the German political system.[4] He was also an adviser during the postwar Nuremberg trials of German war criminals (as part of the trials, the British tried to protect "their men" from prosecution).
After that he was first counselor to the embassy in 1949 and then from 1950 to 1952 envoy to the embassy in Italy.
After he was Senior Civilian Instructor (Senior Civilian Instructor) at Imperial Defense College in London from 1952 to 1953, he then served in the Foreign Office from 1953 to 1956 as Assistant Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs (Defense and Intelligence)). He then held the post of Deputy Under-Secretary for Foreign Affairs (Defense) in the Foreign Ministry from 1956 to 1960. During this use he was knighted on June 13, 1957 as Knight Commander of the Order of St Michael and St George (KCMG), so that from then on he carried the suffix "Sir".
As the successor to Pierson John Dixon, Sir Patrick Dean took over the post of Permanent Representative of the United Kingdom to the United Nations in 1960 and held it until 1964, when Hugh Foot, Baron Caradon, succeeded him there.
