- Delivering security of energy supply
- Ensuring properly functioning energy markets
- Encouraging greater energy efficiency
- Seizing the opportunities of net zero to lead the world in new green industries

For 2023, our priorities are:

**Our Inclusive Environment**

We are building an inclusive culture to make the Department a brilliant place to work where our people feel valued, have a voice and can be their authentic selves. We value difference and diversity, not only because we believe it is the right thing to do, but because it will help us be more innovative and make better decisions.

We offer first-class flexible working benefits, excellent employee well-being support and a great pension. We are fortunate to have a range of excellent staff networks and are proud to be a Disability Confident Leader employer. We will support talented people from all backgrounds to build a career and thrive.

**Job description**:
This is an exciting opportunity to work in a fast-paced emergency response team in the new Department for Energy Security and Net Zero. As a Watchkeeper in the Emergency Response Capabilities and Operations team (ERCO), you will be working with a wide range of critical sectors and senior officials. We work on live, high-profile issues and emergency responses, whilst also building capability across sector teams, and supporting the wider team so it can effectively carry out its work.

This role would be ideally suited to an ambitious individual, looking to build their career in government, with an interest in risk management and emergency response.

ERCO coordinates teams across the department to prepare for, mitigate and respond to emergencies. Recent examples include Russia / Ukraine and fuel supply shortages.

We actively monitor risks and emerging threats, and work with colleagues across Whitehall on these. In addition, ERCO is responsible for ensuring the Department has cross-cutting capabilities (e.g. training and exercising) across its diverse range of risk areas.

SC security clearance, or a willingness to undergo SC security clearance, is essential for this role.

This typically requires 3 years residency in the UK and UK National Status. Applicants must meet these requirements and be willing to undergo the SC process, which can be completed in post. (Please contact the vacancy manager if you are unsure whether you meet these requirements).

**Person specification**:
- Horizon scanning for emerging risks, and working with sectors across the department to understand their risk landscape;
- Management of the Emergencies Inbox and alerting the team of emerging incidents;
- Managing the Emergency Operations Centre to support emergency responses and ensuring that the facility is fit-for-purpose, including leading on enhancing its capability (an understanding of IT is not essential, but desirable);
- Supporting the coordination of the department’s response to major incidents by liaising with appropriate teams, developing briefings, and managing action logs and mailboxes;
- Maintenance of the on-call rota and emergency directory of contacts to ensure that emergencies can be effectively responded to;
- Working with the electricity and gas industries to ensure their staff receive the correct level of security clearance;
- Being a core part of cross-Government programmes of work to mitigate some of the most significant risks
