    In DHSC, we are proud of our purpose � to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. To achieve this, and create a great place to work, we have four values: we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. If this sounds like an environment you�d like to work in, we�d love to hear from you.

    The Office for Life Sciences (OLS) is a busy strategy and policy implementation unit of c. 100 people, providing direct support and regular advice to ministers in the Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC) and the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology (DSIT).

    Life Sciences is a crucial pillar of the UK economy, supporting over a quarter of a million jobs and generating an annual turnover in excess of �94bn. The pandemic has hammered home the vital importance of the sector for economic growth and the future health resilience of people across the UK.

    OLS leads the Government�s drive to make the UK a Life Sciences hub, with one of the most pro-innovation healthcare systems in the world and a prime destination for research, investment and innovation across medicines, medical technologies and digital health. This requires direct working with Ministers and their Private Offices, the NHS and industry to shape and deliver government policy.

    Job description
