In DHSC, we are proud of our purpose - to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer.

You will continue to upskill and develop your Business Continuity knowledge using materials and access from recognised specialists such as the Business Continuity Institute (BCI) and UK Government Security.

This role requires participation in an out-of-hours duty roster and additional pay is provided for this.
