Summary

In the Department of Health and Social Care, we are proud of our purpose – to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. To achieve this, and create a great place to work, we have four values: we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. If this sounds like an environment you would like to work in, we would love to hear from you.

The Public Bodies Oversight and Review Team works at the heart of the Department within the Ministers, Accountability and Strategy Directorate. We are the central point of oversight for DHSC’s public bodies which deliver essential and critical services on behalf of the department.

The team plays a crucial role in managing a number of cross-cutting areas spanning departmental policy and sponsorship of DHSC’s public bodies, accountability and governance, sponsorship capability, the Public Sector Equality Duty (PSED) and the department’s Better Regulation Unit.

This is an exciting and unique opportunity to work directly with DHSC’s public bodies. The role will suit those wishing to develop their written and verbal communication skills, and to engage and build relationships with a variety of stakeholders, including senior stakeholders within and outside the department.

The team has a diverse and interesting portfolio, and no two days are the same. We are a friendly, supportive team who have a relentless focus on staff wellbeing and consistently lead in the department on inclusivity and flexible working.
