The team plays a key role in horizon scanning and risk assessment, keeping the Executive Team and Ministers informed on emerging rising tide incidents and events that may require a significant and wide-ranging response from the Department, especially where DLUHC is the Lead Government Department for a particular type of threat or where its assets and relationships can play a material role.

- The post holder will lead on policy preparedness and resourcing, working closely with policy leads across the Department to develop preparedness plans for our top priority risks.

- You will ensure our Executive Team and Ministers are fully sighted of progress through effective briefing, including at the department’s Resilience Board.
- You will lead CRCU’s efforts to develop a strong network of colleagues across the department by building on our existing cross-departmental engagement programme, for instance through the use of regular Roadshows.
- You will provide strong line management and development support for EO-SEOs in the team who will support across the functions outlined above.
