To deliver our purpose and help make the Cabinet Office a great place to work, we commit to: treating everyone with Respect, actively Collaborate, and build Trust.

The post in the Continuity of Government and Crisis Management team in the COBR Unit provides an exciting opportunity to work at the centre of the government’s emergency management programme. This is an HEO role reporting to the Grade 7 Continuity of Crisis Management Team Lead.
**Job description**:
You will join the small but dedicated team responsible for the maintenance of continuity of government and crisis management planning - ensuring that collective ministerial decision making can continue in an emergency of whatever gravity.

You will invest in relationships with colleagues across the centre of government and with stakeholders across HMG and beyond.
You will be expected to work on high-profile and fast-moving policy issues. Key areas of responsibility will be:
- Supporting a cross-government programme review of departmental CoCM planning to reflect the strategic risk picture
- Leading specific assurance work alongside operational colleagues across existing sites
- Work on the strategy for COBR resilience and shape the future of the way crisis operations are delivered away from BAU processess
- Programme support to the SRO, including monitoring risks to delivery; and the provision of secretariat support to the Governance Board
- Stakeholder engagement planning and the development of written communications / briefing
- Supporting wider COBR Unit response activations at times of national emergency
**Person specification**:
