Would you relish the chance to add value to our priority project and policies, to be asked to quickly understand key issues and shape the way forward?
If so, we'd love to hear from you!
The Maritime Delivery Unit (MDU) tackles urgent and high-profile challenges across the Maritime directorate. The team will take on issues not addressed through business-as-usual work and be a deployable resource to deal with emerging political, directorate or departmental priorities.
The work of the MDU is guided by the issues that Ministers, our DG and Director are concerned about but cannot be delivered by business as usual (BAU) teams. We deliver short term (3-6 months) interventions to help BAU teams deliver effectively.
Joining our department comes with many benefits, including:
- Employer pension contribution of 28.97% of your salary. Read more about Civil Service Pensions here
- 25 days annual leave, increasing by 1 day each year of service (up to a maximum of 30 days annual leave), plus 8 bank holidays a privilege day for the King’s birthday
- Flexible working options where we encourage a great work-life balance.
