Summary
This post is an opportunity to work in a unique private office for a scientific expert, driving the DHSC research and science agenda.
The Chief Scientific Adviser (CSA) to the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) is one of the most senior positions within the department, and a member of the DHSC’s Executive Committee. The CSA is a Director General (DG) who oversees four directorates which covers: Science, Research, and Evidence; the Office for Life Sciences; DHSC central analysis (through the Chief Analyst’s Directorate) and DHSC data (through the Chief Data Officer’s Directorate). The CSA is responsible for the DHSC research and development budget of over £1.2billion in domestic and international health though the National Institute for Health Research (NIHR).
Behind every senior manager or company director you’ll find an organised and efficient diary manager to ensure their time is used as effectively as possible and this is no different for the Chief Scientific Adviser (CSA).
The Chief Scientific Adviser’s Private Office is looking for a highly motivated individual to join the small friendly team to provide the CSA with outstanding diary management. This is an excellent opportunity to be centrally involved in the work of a key Department and to learn about the interface between science and policy at a crucial time.
