**Job summary**:
In DHSC, 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’d like to work in, we’d love to hear from you.
The Office for Life Sciences (OLS) is a busy strategy and policy implementation unit of c. 100 people, providing direct support and regular advice to ministers in the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).
Life Sciences is a crucial pillar of the UK economy, supporting over a quarter of a million jobs and generating an annual turnover in excess of £94bn. The pandemic has hammered home the vital importance of the sector for economic growth and the future health resilience of people across the UK.
OLS leads the Government’s drive to make the UK a Life Sciences hub, with one of the most pro-innovation healthcare systems in the world and a prime destination for research, investment and innovation across medicines, medical technologies and digital health. This requires direct working with Ministers and their Private Offices, the NHS and industry to shape and deliver government policy.
**Job description**:
- To ensure the Life Sciences sector and NHS can thrive and tackle healthcare challenges, the UK requires a globally competitive Life Sciences investment ecosystem, where companies can access the funding needed for growth. The postholder will work with industry stakeholders, senior officials and ministers in DHSC and DSIT to improve access to finance for the UK’s most innovative, high-potential companies by championing and driving forward OLS’ access to finance priorities and supporting relevant cross-Whitehall initiatives. This is a busy, priority role with considerable visibility across both departments.**Person specification**:
**The postholder will lead on all components of OLS’s Access to Finance portfolio. This includes**:
- Implementation of the access to finance priorities set out in the Life Sciences Vision, ensuring alignment with other relevant access to finance initiatives across Government.
- Supporting HMT on the implementation of the Mansion House reforms announced by the Chancellor to unlock institutional investment into areas like Life Sciences.
- Overseeing the delivery of the £200m Life Sciences Investment Programme (LSIP), working closely with the British Business Bank.
- Influencing X-Whitehall policy teams to ensure OLS objectives are represented at the highest levels of Government.
- Management of a small team of HEOs and SEOs.
- Experience and / or an understanding of the UK’s Life Sciences investment ecosystem.
- Ability to build strong working relationships with internal and external colleagues, including with senior leaders, and delivery partners to deliver challenging deadlines to time and target.
- Strong verbal and written communication skills and the ability to write compellingly and concisely on complex policy areas.
- Comfortable working in a busy environment.
- Ability to synthesise a large amount of information and organise competing priorities at pace to ensure delivery.
