**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**:
**The role and our team**

You will help run the media and visits team in Whitehall’s newest government department, created by the Prime Minister earlier this year to ensure the UK is the most innovative economy in the world and a science and technology superpower.

You will lead teams responsible for demonstrating to the public how government is harnessing technology and innovation to change lives and tackle the challenges of today and tomorrow, from growing the economy to improving healthcare.

From record levels of public investment in research and development to ambitions to blanket the country with the fastest and most reliable wireless coverage available, you’ll lead a team of twenty people responsible for laying on highly visual visits that will attract national and international broadcasters and shaping stories to bring the government’s work to life for everyday people, capturing front page coverage and dominating the airwaves.

You will also lead government communications on one of the most defining issues of our age - Artificial Intelligence - demonstrating how the government will both reap the many and varied benefits of the technology, while protecting the public from potential harms and misuse by putting the right guardrails in place.

You will work closely with Ministers, Spads, senior officials as well as counterparts across Whitehall, including Downing Street, to land positive and creative stories in UK and international media, while also ensuring we robustly defend ourselves against criticism where appropriate. You will play a central role in helping the department to achieve this by briefing science and tech reporters, political editors and foreign correspondents.

You will work closely with your counterpart, the Head of Digital Communications, ensuring close collaboration across the teams and ensuring that comms materials and products are integrated and closely aligned.
