**About OPSS**

Do you care about the safety of products and want to protect people and places? Can we use your skills, knowledge and experience to enable UK business to thrive? If the answer is yes, then we would like to hear from you

We are the Office for Product Safety and Standards (OPSS), part of the Department for Business & Trade (Previously the Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy). We are here for the purpose of making regulation work to deliver real world impact. Regulation is a powerful Government tool to address market failures, influence behaviour and promote positive action. Crafted and delivered well, regulation can be an enabler of growth, innovation and efficiency.

Since early 2018 we have been building a positive and creative team that enjoys a position of influence and respect within an organisation that continues to grow, most recently with the addition of construction products regulation planned.

**Our primary purpose is to protect people and places from product-related harm, ensuring consumers and businesses can buy and sell products with confidence**

Further information can be found on our website here.

We recruit by merit on the basis of fair and open competition, as outlined in the Civil Service Commission's recruitment principles. We embrace diversity and promote equality of opportunity. We are committed to building a team that represents a variety of backgrounds, perspectives and skills.

**We are Inclusive**

**Job description**:
**The Role and Our Team**

We are recruiting for three exciting SEO policy roles to drive forward some of OPSS’s key policy responsibilities relating to borders, accreditation, and standards. In any of these roles, you will be a key part of a strong team of policy professionals, with the opportunity to work in a fast-paced and supportive environment, with regular engagement with external stakeholders and senior officials.

The roles (which may vary depending on business priorities upon commencement) are:
**SEO Borders and Market Surveillance Policy**:
This post will support the development of ‘market surveillance’ policy that underpins effective guidance and coordination of UK border and inland market surveillance activities (the checking of products for safety and compliance).

The role will help create and deliver key strategies for the UK, against a backdrop of change at GB and NI borders. This will involve using the full suite of policy skills, including developing and analysing policy and legislative proposals for their impacts, adopting evidence-based positions and briefing.

**SEO Standards and Domestic Implication Policy and National Quality Infrastructure (NQI) strategy**:
The Standards and Domestic Implication team manages the relationship between government and the British Standards Institution (BSI). The team oversee cross-government standards policy and are responsible for designating standards across the OPSS portfolio. The team also provide technical advice on domestic implications of trade deals and lead on the domestic implementation of provisions within these trade deals which relate to the OPSS remit.

A key focus of this post will be formulating and delivering our strategy on the NQI, of which standards is part. This will include considering the opportunities of digitalisation and emerging technologies for the NQI, and considering the domestic and international facets of the NQI. You will engage with colleagues across OPSS, DBT and elsewhere in government, and with the UK’s NQI institutions. In particular, you will work closely with the OPSS accreditation policy team, who jointly lead NQI strategy within OPSS.

There may also be an opportunity to support a senior manager in their role as the chair of a United Nations expert committee, drafting speeches and briefing, coordinating input from colleagues.

**SEO Accreditation Policy and NQI strategy**:
Accreditation ensures that those who carry out conformity assessment, testing, certification and inspection are competent to do so. Accreditation and conformity assessment are core parts of the UK’s NQI.

The primary focus for this post will be developing and driving forward our strategy on the NQI. There will be significant cross-departmental and cross-government engagement opportunities, and you will engage particularly closely w
