You will help prepare us for challenges to come, including planning our response to future emergencies. And you will have a role in readying us for changes in regulation.
You will take-on responsibilities from across the team’s wide-ranging portfolio and participate in multi-functional teams to deliver change.
We are looking for a senior officer who enjoys applying evidence, research and best practice in working with others to find solutions to a range of challenges and is stimulated by no working day ever being the same.
