**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.

The Adult Social Care (ASC) Group in DHSC leads on all matters relating to adult social care in the department. Putting social care on a sustainable footing so that it meets the demands of an ageing population, and everyone is treated with dignity and respect, is one of the biggest challenges that our society faces. The government has a 10-year vision to reform adult social care and make it fit for the future - you can find out more in the People at the Heart of Care white paper, published in December 2021.

The Adult Social Care Briefing team which drafts and coordinates cross cutting briefing for the Adult Social Care Group. We are looking for a Briefing & Parliamentary Business Officer to join our high-performing, inclusive, supportive, and agile team. We pride ourselves on our creativity, team spirt, personal and professional development. We work collaboratively across Adult Social Care Group to ensure the government has a cohesive, up to date, and joined-up approach to external communications and Parliamentary business.

**Job description**:
As part of the Adult Social Care Briefing team, you will support the development and coordination of briefing and Parliamentary business on behalf of the Adult Social Care Group. The team has a wide remit that involves developing and co-ordinating briefing material for the Minister of State for Social Care, the Secretary of State for Health & Social Care, along with other ministers and senior officials. This includes:

- Developing comprehensive Parliamentary debate packs for ministers
- Compiling quality and timely responses to ministerial correspondence
- Writing speeches for events and conferences
- Coordinating ministerial meetings and producing briefings
- Responding to urgent requests from the media team on live news stories

For each of these, you will lead on timely responses which will require you to collaborate with multiple teams across Social Care Group and the wider department. You will need to collect the most accurate, up-to-date policy information, and then organise it to construct coherent and compelling responses to different types of commissions. You will often need to balance a varied workload across a number of often high-profile priorities.

This is a high profile and very cross-cutting role, spanning the entirety of adult social care policy, providing the postholder with a fantastic opportunity to be right at the heart of a major government priority area. This is a fast paced, stretching, autonomous and highly visible role that offers an excellent opportunity to develop relationships with senior stakeholders internally, across DHSC, other government departments, and with Minsters’ Private Offices.

We make a strong commitment to personal development and career progression for all our colleagues. You will receive training in line with your responsibilities, while working in an inclusive team where you will be supported to develop wider skills that will help you progress in your career, not just in this role.

**Person specification**:
**The role will involve**:

- Leading on briefings and key strategic documents for ministers and senior officials on key issues, including high-priority Parliamentary activity.
- Managing the Adult Social Care Briefing inbox, responding to queries and requests from across the Group and wider Department.
- Communicating complex issues clearly and concisely to wider departmental colleagues, stakeholders, and the public, quickly distilling salient information from a range of sources.
- Working with policy colleagues to draft new briefing material for ministers and senior officials for new announcements and reactive news stories.
- Working effectively with stakeholders acros
