**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.

DHSC works with 13 arm’s-length bodies (ALBs), including the UK Health Security Agency and the Medicines and Healthcare products Regulatory Authority, which deliver services on behalf of the Department. We have three roles available across two teams in the ALB Oversight and Review Team, which manages a number of cross-cutting areas across departmental policy and sponsorship of our ALBs, including ALB accountability, sponsorship capability, delivery of the public bodies reviews programme, the Public Sector Equality Duty and better regulation.

The Public Bodies Review Programme, led by Cabinet Office, requires government departments to conduct reviews of their public bodies to:

- assess whether a function should be delivered by the State, or whether an alternative is more fitting.
- Ensure public bodies have a ‘laserlike’ focus on delivering their objectives, and are not making decisions which fall under the remit of Ministers.
- Reduce the burden on the taxpayer as the increased pressures ofthe pandemic on the public purse come to an end.
- Spend taxpayer money with greater care and ensure performance, expenditure and other data is shared openly.

The Programme delivers on commitments made in the Declaration on Government Reform in 2021 to increase the effectiveness and efficiency of public bodies, and will look to identify a minimum of 5% savings for each organisation.

We are a small, friendly team and no two days are the same. There will be opportunities to learn and develop your skills, as well as gain experience in other areas of the team’s work if desired.

**Job description**:
There are two roles available working within the team delivering DHSC’s programme of Public Bodies Reviews and one role in the Policy Assurance and ALB Oversight Team.

Each role will involve close working with senior stakeholders, public bodies and their DHSC sponsorship teams to ensure that each of DHSC’s public bodies is efficient, effective and accountable. You will work within a small team to manage the relationship with sponsors of a portfolio of ALBs or on the delivery of reviews, each of which will last four to six months. You will help brief DHSC senior leaders and ministers, manage the relationship with the Cabinet Office Public Bodies Team and organise and provide the secretariat function for meetings.

These are exciting opportunities to work directly with our ALBs and will suit those with excellent writing and analysis skills and experience managing differing priorities, building and maintaining strong relationships with stakeholders and supporting the delivery of projects to deadlines.

**Person specification**:
Researching and analysing information from different sources.

Building and maintaining strong relationships with ALBs and DHSC officials.

Maintaining project management documentation including actions logs, project plans and shared folders.

Providing the secretariat function for reviews or regular senior-level meetings, including arranging meetings, setting agenda, taking minutes, providing meeting summaries, booking travel and accommodation and managing the day-to-day relationship with stakeholders.

Developing policy and analysing evidence to improve the sponsorship and oversight of DHSC’s public bodies.

**Key skills and experience required for the role**
- Excellent stakeholder engagement and management skills as you will be working with senior officials and senior leaders from DHSC’s public bodies.
- Experience working on or supporting a project with a tight deadline.
- Excellent analytical and writing skills with the ability to summarise large volumes of information clearly and concisely.
- Excellent organisation and administrative skills.
- The ability to buil
