Crafted and delivered well, regulation can be an enabler of growth, innovation and efficiency.

Since early 2018 we have been building a positive and creative team that enjoys a position of influence and respect within an organisation that continues to grow, most recently with the addition of construction products regulation planned.

Our primary purpose is to protect people and places from product-related harm, ensuring consumers and businesses can buy and sell products with confidence

Job description

We are recruiting for a stretching and rewarding Grade 7 role working in our Product Safety Policy Impact area.� We are seeking candidates with the passion and ability to make a real difference to our work and team culture.�

The role sits in the Legislation, Powers and Reform team which works to ensure we have the right legislation in place to implement the UK�s product safety framework, from marking to conformity assessment processes, to assessing that the framework remains fit for the modern and digital age.� This includes an extensive programme of communications, engagement, and policy development internally, externally and across a range of other Government Departments.

Please note that this role is open to candidates working in either our London or Teddington office. When you are required to give a preference, Twickenham will appear rather than Teddington, so please be aware that you should choose this option if you wish to be based in Teddington.�
