**Job summary**:
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is the independent regulator for work-related health and safety. Our purpose is to prevent workplace death, injury or ill health and protect the environment.

You will also be involved in the development and implementation of DBT-led policy on the product safety framework (currently under review) to enable effective frontline regulatory interventions by PSMSU frontline team. Your work will involve a range of policy activities including stakeholder engagement, working collaboratively with colleagues across regulatory, other policy and science disciplines, technical specialists and communications. You will be expected to quickly develop policy expertise and start delivering at pace.

**Job description**:

- Work as part of a multi-disciplinary team to develop evidence-based policy proposals
- Lead the delivery of workstreams you are responsible for to agreed objectives and timescales
- Draft responses to official correspondence and contributions to MPs letters, ministerial submissions, briefings and parliamentary questions.
- Develop collaborative relationships with stakeholders in other government departments and industry to deliver policy priorities
