**Job summary**:
With a world-class reputation for safeguarding the health and safety of people at work, the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is adapting and evolving to meet the new challenges ahead. At the Chemicals Regulation Division (CRD) we work with one goal in mind - to protect human health and the environment from the effects of potentially harmful substances.

This is a crucial period for HSE’s Chemicals Regulation Division (CRD) as it continues to build capacity and capability and further develop the arrangements for delivery in the post EU environment for chemicals regulation, taking us towards our Vision: As a globally respected Competent Authority, support the UK to prosper through science-led regulation of the effective and safe use of chemicals and associated technology.

This is a great opportunity to join the Biocides Regulatory Operations Team in CRD at a time of major change. The team supports the regulatory decision and policy making that drives CRD’s delivery of Biocides regulations in the UK.

HSE is committed to providing a supportive and inclusive working environment and we particularly welcome BAME/disabled/LGBT+ applicants, as they are currently underrepresented in this discipline within HSE.

**Job description**:
The Biocides Regulatory Operations Team works closely with regulatory specialists and scientists, ensuring that HSE’s decision making and approaches to providing active substance approvals and product authorisations are consistent and legally sound.

The team also have an important role in dealing with novel and challenging problems, helping HSE Officials and stakeholders navigate the regulatory framework by providing advice and solutions arising from technical and implementation challenges as a result of regulatory changes.

The team interacts regularly with HSE Policy and Enforcement teams for chemicals, other Government departments and the Devolved Administrations on wide ranging issues relating to biocides and the regulatory framework.

To succeed you will need to develop a thorough understanding of the underpinning policies, regulatory framework, technical and legislative issues.

**Responsibilities**
- Support colleagues in taking regulatory decisions and establishing positions by providing accurate advice on the implementation of the relevant regulations.
- Work with colleagues to ensure decisions are consistent and delivered to the required standards.
- Provide advice on interpretative challenges within the legislation, seeking pragmatic and proportionate solutions and escalating issues as appropriate.
- Draft legal documents and formal stakeholder communications.
- Proactively identify and escalate potential issues affecting the practical operation of the biocides regulatory schemes and help develop handling strategies.
- Develop, review and amend processes required by the legislation to ensure consistent delivery of CRD’s objectives to the required standards and drive efficiency.
- Provide advice and support to stakeholders by responding to enquiries from industry and others, including other government departments, within agreed deadlines and to agreed quality standards.

There will be a requirement to travel to the office for various activities e.g., collaborative working, supporting and training colleagues.

CRD and the Biocides Regulatory Operations Team are predominantly located in Bootle, therefore some additional occasional travel to Bootle and/or York would be required.

Part time working hours are available for this role. We can accept part time applicants who can commit to working a minimum of 22.5 hours per week

**Person specification**:
We are looking for:

- Good organisational skills in managing a varied workload with competing priorities to demanding deadlines, while ensuring a quality service.
- Effective communication skills, enabling you to collaborate and engage with others.
- Experience in building and maintaining strong, positive working relationships both internally and externally.
- Sound analytical skills with the ability to present technical information in a clear, concise and timely way.
- Initiative and decisiveness, supporting your ability to make effective decisions, while being open to challenge and involving others.
- Commitment to learning and development of yourself and others, including on the job learning.

**Behaviours**:
We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:
