About the Department for Business and Trade

We are the department for economic growth, supporting business to invest, grow and export, creating jobs and opportunities across the country.

Our vision is to champion open and fair trading that drives growth, creates better jobs and higher wages, and improves living standards in this country and round the world.

The role will be based in either London, Cardiff or Darlington and may require occasional travel to other DBT offices.

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

Informal hybrid working arrangements will be available as agreed with the vacancy manager and in line with the requirements of the role.

Most DBT employees will be working a hybrid pattern, spending 2 to 3 days a week (pro rata) in the office on average.

Changes to these working arrangements are available in certain circumstances but must be agreed with the vacancy manager and in line with the requirements of the role.

Travel to your primary office location will not be paid for by DBT, but costs for travel to an office which is not your main location will be covered.
