We act as OHID’s lead on research, evidence and health economic analysis.

- Providing analytical leadership and support to strategic public health projects, or work to support the allocation of the Public Health Grant.
- Upskilling wider DHSC in health economics concepts and techniques.

Communicating effectively with internal and external stakeholders and establishing effective working relationships.

Possible management responsibilities for one or more Assistant Economists or Economic Interns, including supervising their work, coaching, and providing advice and supporting their development.

Contributing to the development of the Department's economics capability, through knowledge sharing, providing peer review of others’ work and/or input to the policies and procedures, representing the Directorate at public events including conferences, and contributing to the recruitment of Assistant Economists.
