**Job summary**:
In DHSC, we are proud of our purpose - to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. To achieve this, and create a great place to work, we have four values: we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. If this sounds like an environment you’d like to work in, we’d love to hear from you.

DHSC invests significantly in research and development (R&D) to support the delivery of its objectives primarily through the National Institute for Health and Care Research (NIHR).
NIHR’s mission is to improve the health and wealth of the nation through research.

NIHR has transformed research in and for the health and care sector, helping to shape the health research landscape more broadly.

This is a fantastic opportunity to help drive forward health and care research policy for DHSC - working with delivery partners in the NIHR - in a role that is varied, challenging and frequently fast paced.
