**Job description**:
The Role and Our Team:
The team:
The Science Team provides access to robust and relevant scientific advice and novel research for the development of policy, and the delivery and enforcement of product safety regulations across the OPSS remit, including toys, cosmetics and new responsibilities in construction products. We work closely with other evidence teams including those in engineering, research, analysis and testing. It is a multidisciplinary team covering specialisms including analytical chemistry, materials science and toxicology. The team is also responsible for chemical risk assessment advice and leads the Office’s access to independent scientific experts in the space of chemicals and materials.

We require a chemical specialist to join our team efforts in providing scientific advice for product safety. You will support the work of other Science team members, working closely with policy, enforcement and other teams within the Office, for the effective delivery of UK product safety policy and regulation.

The role will involve evaluating chemical information (test reports, ingredient lists, safety dossiers, and wider scientific literature) to support understanding the composition and risks of products for compliance with the relevant product safety legislation. You will need to be confident in drawing together, interpreting and communicating your findings to a lay audience as well as technical members of the team. You will provide support to cross-cutting research programmes, collaborating with testing, engineering and analysis teams, and our new laboratory facilities, to deliver key evidence to support OPSS’ strategic priorities. You will be able to instigate and shape the approach to high-impact science projects conducted by the Office to contribute to consumer safety within OPSS’ remit. You will be a critical interface between science and policy making.

This role is key in ensuring OPSS’ access to the tools to deliver good advice are available and effective, and in helping the team to identify where evidence gaps need to be filled for the effective delivery of legislation or regulatory action.

As a scientist in government, OPSS will support you in and provide a wide range of opportunities for professional development. Working with our analytical chemists at OPSS, there is the opportunity to develop deep analytical chemistry skills, both inside and outside of a lab environment.

**Person specification**:

- Assess and interpret scientific and technical documentation relating to the safety of consumer products, construction products, chemicals, and materials.
- Contribute to and lead on research and evidence gathering activities to understand new developments in the field of consumer products and chemicals safety.
- Collaborate with engineering and technology, analysis and testing teams on multidisciplinary projects.
- Respond to ad-hoc chemical and technical enquiries.
- Manage contracts with external contractors to ensure timely delivery of high-quality scienc
