This will likely include some secretariat work on key Directorate functions, such as programme boards and senior meetings.

Supporting the Department's engagement with key stakeholders and delivery partners, including the Civil Aviation Authority and other regulatory bodies.
Playing an active role in the Department's response to cyber incidents.
