**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 Office for Health Improvement and Disparities (OHID) in the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) drives the Government’s health improvement agenda. OHID leads the development and delivery of the Government’s work to improve and level up health outcomes. This includes cross-government action on the wider determinants of health. Sitting at the heart of DHSC, the work of OHID will shift the focus of the Department, NHS and wider health system, and partners across local and national government and beyond, ensuring that public health, prevention, and health inequalities are prioritised.

OHID hosts the UK National Screening Committee (UK NSC) which is a formally constituted, independent, Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) which advises Ministers and the NHS in the four UK countries on all aspects of screening. It is currently chaired by Professor Sir Mike Richards.

The UK NSC uses research evidence, in service evaluations and economic evaluation to assess the evidence for screening programmes. This assessment is based upon a set of internationally recognised criteria. These criteria cover the condition, the test, the treatment options and the effectiveness and acceptability of screening programme. Assessing programmes in this evidence-based way helps to ensure they do better than harm at affordable cost. The UK NSC is supported by a secretariat, which includes the Evidence Team

The Evidence Team provides a knowledge support service for the UK NSC’s decision making. It is responsible for managing the evidence review process and plays a vital role in helping the UK NSC to keep its recommendations based on the best possible evidence. It achieves this by delivering a programme of evidence product development projects.

The Committee’s remit and processes have recently undergone significant change. The Committee’s remit has expanded to include targeted screening and stratified screening, in addition to whole population screening.

In response to this expanded remit, the Evidence Team is expanding in size and developing four distinct sub teams with responsibility for supporting the Committee’s requirements in the following areas:
Horizon Scanning, prioritisation and information science

Modelling

Research and Methodology

Targeted screening portfolio development, focusing on liaison work with the National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) and the Scottish Intercollegiate Guidelines Network (SIGN)

**Job description**:
This post is a key role in the newly expanded UK NSC Secretariat and will be primarily concerned with the UK NSC’s strategic work to develop a portfolio of targeted screening topics and interact more systematically with guideline development bodies.

The role will focus on bringing together and managing a team which will:

- develop the UK NSC’s strategic workstream to achieve this objective and to identify subsequent development needs.
- contribute to the delivery of the UK NSC evidence team’s programme development projects and the implementation of new and current screening programmes

The role requires:

- specialist knowledge of screening, UK NSC processes and evidence-based medicine methodologies
- excellent organisational and project management skills
- a flexible approach and ability to work with mínimal supervision within a rapidly evolving environment which is frequently exposed to a high degree of public scrutiny
