Job summary:

At the United Kingdom Health Security Agency (UKHSA) our mission is to provide health security for the nation by protecting from infectious disease and external hazards.

We are a trusted source of advice to government and to the public, focusing on reducing inequalities in the way different communities experience and are impacted by infectious disease, environmental hazards, and other threats to health.

Our mission is challenging, innovative and in the spotlight.

We will work to ensure our people have the diverse skills, experiences and backgrounds we need to thrive, that our employees are representative of the communities we serve and feel valued and enabled to play their part in delivering our work.

Creating our working culture is an ongoing process which we are developing by listening and learning together, hearing and acting upon diverse voices and opinions to develop a common sense of identity and effective ways of working.

This position is a temporary appointment and at present has no expectation of permanence.

Unless otherwise communicated prior to the end of this Fixed Term Appointment, this role will come to an end on the published end date.

If you are an existing Civil Servant, based outside of the UKHSA, you will take up the post as a loan.

If you are an existing UKHSA member of staff, you will take up the post as either a level transfer or a temporary promotion as per the UKHSA's Pay policy.

Please be aware that this role can only be worked from within the UK and not overseas. Relocation expenses are not available.

New entrants to the Civil Service are expected to start on the minimum of the pay band.

Either case is determined by whichever is the highest.
