**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 purpose of the Data, Assurance and Support Division is to increase transparency about what and how social care is being delivered locally and drive improvements in quality through a variety of policy interventions, including our ambitious data programme outlined in the adult social care data strategy - Care Data Matters. You will support the work of the division to understand what needs to be in place to support good outcomes for people who draw on care and support, use intelligence and data gathered to formulate actions, and collaborate across teams and with stakeholders to input into wider activities that support the implementation of social care reforms.

The ASC National Inquiry and Litigation Team is responsible for coordinating the adult social care elements of the DHSC response to the Covid-19 National Inquiry. The role involves supporting the drafting of witness statements to be presented to the Inquiry as part of their schedule of hearings. As the Inquiry progresses, the team will need to prepare senior witnesses to give oral evidence to the Inquiry. You would provide a key part of this function by working with teams across the Adult Social Care Group to provide briefings and respond to Ministerial requests.

**Job description**:
The posts provide an excellent opportunity to join teams leading high-profile programmes. and involve proactively engaging with analytical / data colleagues, policy teams and local authority representatives, so post holders will have the opportunity to build strong, credible relationships with stakeholders in central government and local government.

You will provide high-quality advice to ministers, support colleagues with business operational/continuity, draft responses to parliamentary questions. Within the Inquiry team, you will hold responsibility for team activity trackers, so good administrative skills are essential.

These posts offer excellent opportunities to lead and support across a number of areas:

- Gaining policy and leadership experience in interesting, varied, high profile work that contributes to improving people’s lives.
- Delivering a new vision for the way we gather, analyse and publish data about adult social care.
- Developing a new framework for understanding local authorities’ performance and their delivery of adult social care, working across the Adult Social Care Group to bring together what we learn through new CQC assessments of local authorities, better social care data and engagement with the sector and strengthening the tools we have to improve performance.
- Helping to shape and implement our support offer and local authority intervention framework where local authorities are failing to discharge care act functions, and strengthen improvement activity for 2024/25 and beyond.
- Working within the Adult Social Care National Inquiry and Litigation and be responsible for coordinating the adult social care elements of the DHSC response to the Covid-19 National Inquiry, as well as supporting the ongoing work on ASC litigation cases and judicial reviews. The role is a critical business area for the Adult Social Care Group and the Department, involving significant contact with Directors and the Director General.
- Leading the team (one post) collating and ordering evidence about the Covid-19 pandemic and using this to assist in draft and preparing witness statements.

You will receive training and support in line with your responsibilities.

**Person specification**:
All three roles will have responsibility to deliver across some of the following areas:

- Support the delivery of policy and projects linked to the data strategy - ensuring better and more timely data to deepen oversight of the social care sector
- Work with analysts and data specialist
