If so, we are looking for an enthusiastic and proactive individual to join our Domestic Rail Security team, and we would love to hear from you.

**Job description**:
The Department for Transport (DfT) is responsible for maintaining high standards of safety and security in transport. Our Integration and Security Directorate is at the heart of this work to ensure the UK’s railways deliver better services for passengers and freight, in a way that also delivers high levels of security, resilience and safety.

Our Division consists of five teams covering Rail Resilience Liaison and Policing and Crime, International Rail Security, Domestic Rail Security, Roads and Vehicles Security, and Compliance activities for any regulations covering these areas.

Our Domestic Rail Security Policy team is responsible for setting security regulations on behalf of the Secretary of State to protect the domestic rail networks against acts of violence (terrorism).

As Senior Policy Adviser, you will have the lead responsibility for setting and developing security policy and regulation, as well as providing security advice on domestic national (heavy) rail security.

In this role, you will lead on maintaining, developing and ensuring that our security regulations remain appropriate for the threats to the national rail networks. You will have extensive liaison with industry and government partners as well as colleagues across Department for Transport (DfT).

This role requires some domestic travel within Great Britain. In the event of a terrorist attack or other emergency, you may be required to be involved in the department’s incident response, including working outside normal business hours and from our London office.

- Representing the Department and the division on a range of working groups, including management of two of the teams’ regular industry stakeholder engagement events.
- Overseeing the team work on national security vetting for industry contacts across the domestic rail networks.
- Working with the Department’s internal and external research partners as required.
- Line management responsibilities for two HEO and one EO colleagues.

**Person specification**:
**About you**

You will have excellent interpersonal skills, with the credibility to influence and challenge effectively to gain consensus to support decision making. You will confidently engage at all levels to build constructive relationships with internal specialists and industry partners.

You will have the ability to grasp information quickly and display quality drafting skills to produce concise submissions.

You will be proactive, work well independently and enjoy supporting your team to deliver programmes of work.
