**Job description**:
- Are you looking to develop strong policy-making skills in a critical sector to help secure the nation's energy supplies? The Energy Security and Resilience Directorate ensures energy security in the short
- to medium-term, driving cross-Government efforts to maintain a resilient energy system. As part of this multi-disciplinary team, you will lead policy to ensure gas, electricity, and fuel reach where they are needed and shape the resilience of future energy systems as part of Net Zero.
We are recruiting for several policy roles within our National Security and Response (NSR) and Energy Resilience Teams (ERT). Both teams are close-knit, friendly, versatile, and inclusive, with a broad portfolio of work across complementary policy areas.
These roles offer a mix of policy, strategy, and operational components, providing an opportunity to craft priorities and be an integral team member as we grow our capability and influence.
The teams' work is high-profile, with significant senior and ministerial interest. They handle some of the UK's most significant risks, as outlined in the National Security Risk Assessment. You will collaborate with industry, regulators, leading practitioners, and governments across the UK and internationally.
The roles are divided between the National Security and Response (NSR) and Energy Resilience (ER) teams:
Both the NSR and ER teams ensure energy (gas, electricity, and fuel) reaches customers, and manage emergencies. They work with stakeholders to ensure the future energy transition as part of Net Zero is secure and resilient. The team is a Centre of Excellence for National Security and Crisis Management, driving cyber security in the energy sector, coordinating responses to threats from hostile states, and assuring our ability to respond to crises affecting the energy and civil nuclear sectors.
The Energy Resilience Team monitors risks to gas, electricity, and oil supplies. They understand the risk to Critical National Infrastructure from hazards and threats now and through to 2050. The team maintains the National Emergency Plans for Fuel and for Gas and Electricity, ensuring ongoing operational readiness. They are developing a Catastrophic Risk Programme to deal with energy-driven system-wide risks, including a National Power Outage. The team responds to energy incidents or emergencies and develops risk-specific plans and operational readiness for specific circumstances.
Occasionally, emergencies within the energy sector occur - this role will provide leadership during responses as a key member of the Energy Security and Resilience Directorate. Depending on the role, there may be an opportunity to join the DESNZ on-call rota, with on-call duties approximately one week out of every six. Training and a small allowance are available. In exceptional circumstances, there may be a requirement to work outside normal hours during emergencies, with additional hours recognized with Time Off in Lieu.
There is an excellent learning and development offer across our crisis manageme
