It's an exciting time to join the organisation; we have outstanding and high-profile positions providing you an opportunity to inform and influence policy-making and the systems for use of science and engineering across government. If you are highly motivated and looking for your next career challenge we want to hear from you.

Our mission is:

Our values are:
Collaboration - We draw on the experience, skills and knowledge of individuals and partners to reach goals.

Kindness - We are always inclusive, respectful, and compassionate. We look out for one another on work related and non-work-related matters where appropriate.

Openness - We are curious and always open-minded to new ideas, ways of working and points of view, irrelevant of how unconventional they might seem or who suggests them.

**Job description**:
Both roles are in the Futures, Emerging Technology and Strategic Projects directorate in GO-Science. One will be with the Foresight Projects team and the other with the Strategic Futures team.

We are looking for people who are excited about the prospect of working across Government, acting as an advocate for Futures and Foresight.

Working on Futures and Foresight will help you grow your big picture, quality service and leadership skills and help you think about what makes policies, delivery plans and strategies work better for longer.

Strategic Futures team

Futures thinking is a structured way of thinking about the future in order to build policies and strategies that stand the test of time. The GO-Science Futures team provides advice, training and resources to support Futures thinking across Government. Demand for our services is growing, and this role will initially focus on developing new resources, as well as co-ordinating our cross-Government Heads of Horizon Scanning network.

We work collaboratively with other government departments, academia and industry, bringing wide-ranging and expert views to bear on important strategic issues. Recent projects have included the Foresight projects Genomics

Beyond Health, Net Zero Society and Wireless 2030. Current projects include Chronic Risks and Future of the Subsurface.

- Lead the Secretariat for the cross-government Futures network (Heads of Horizon Scanning), including our quarterly meetings and engaging with the community throughout the year.
- Supporting the day-to-day running of the team, including by dealing with enquiries and requests.
