**Job summary**:
The EU Trade and the Union Directorate in the Department of Health and Social Care, is looking for two Personal Assistant and Business Support Officers.

In DHSC, we are proud of our purpose - to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. The EU, Trade and the Union Directorate plays a crucial role in our approach protecting the health of the UK and leads on negotiating and implementing international agreements, including trade and cooperation agreements and the Windsor Framework.

We also develop health and care policy that benefits people across the UK Union, working closely with governments in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland, Crown Dependencies and the UK’s Overseas Territories.

You will play an important role in supporting our relationship with the European Union, defining DHSC’s trade strategy, and delivering cross-government work on trade and international agreements for citizens in Scotland, Wales, Northern Ireland and England.

These roles provide an excellent opportunity to gain exposure to senior civil servants, as well as offering a good knowledge of the policy work undertaken in the Department.

You will develop an understanding of the political environment, devolution and UK-wide policy and have the opportunity to play a valuable part in shaping the UK’s health and social care policy.
