**Job summary**:
The CRCU is a newly established, permanent, cross-cutting team, resourced to deliver in two key areas for the department:

- **Preparing for emergencies**: proactively** **preparing the department to respond to threats and hazards, putting in place departmental arrangements for responding to incidents, ready for activation; and
- ** Emergency response**:holding the key coordinating role across DLUHC when a response requires cross-departmental activity, managing the 'GOLD' structure and situational reporting when required.

Key priorities for CRCU for both these areas are below.

**Building DLUHC-wide resilience (preparedness)**

CRCU reports to the Director of Resilience and Recovery, but will form strategic links out across the department, particularly, where these are undeveloped.
- CRCU will work with existing resilience teams to proactively **scan the horizon** for threats and hazards where the wider department hold an interest and in case of an incident, might be called upon.
- CRCU will maintain an overview and engagement with individual** risk playbooks,** testing and exercising.
- CRCU will **engage with teams**, including ALB sponsorship teams, that might hold relevant interests across DLUHC and build awareness of their responsibilities in time of crisis.

**Coordinating the department’s response to emergencies (response)**
- CRCU will hold the key coordinating role across DLUHC, holding a bird’s-eye view, to identify opportunities to strengthen our intelligence, data, policy or protocol including the need for a policy decision.
- CRCU will maintain a departmental **emergency response plan**, setting out** **departmental arrangements for responding to a range of crisis events, including concurrency and an exit strategy. CRCU will also maintain these documents, so they are ready for activation at short notice.
- CRCU will support the SRO as the key interface with Ministers and the Executive Team by commissioning high quality **briefing**.
- CRCU will hold overall ownership of the **departmental SitRep (Situational Report) **and** **the tracking of key strategic actions and the management and secretariat of the key cross-cutting meetings.

**Job description**:

- This SEO role will play a vital part in supporting CRCU to action its longer-term priorities as outlined above.
- You will lead on the development of a programme of training and exercising for resilience-focused staff across DLUHC, to ensure all relevant teams are well-prepared heading into future emergency response scenarios
- You will work closely with the People, Capability and Change (PC&C) Directorate to ensure DLUHC has appropriate emergency staffing plans in place
- You will support CRCU in an emergency response by servicing the GOLD Coordination Group to oversee the strategic direction of the response, build situational awareness, and provide briefing for senior officials and ministers.
- You will also help to influence CRCU’s longer-term work on preparedness and response, supporting the team to develop ‘business as usual’ structures.

**Person specification**:
Essential:

- Excellent organisational skills and the ability to meet strict deadlines.
- The ability to work with a wide range of stakeholders across the department, building strong relationships to allow joint delivery.
- The ability to demonstrate inclusive leadership and engage a team to deliver improved outcomes and seek new ways of working.

Desirable:

- Experience of working in a coordination or resilience role.
- Experience of engaging with data and analysis work.
