You’ll collaborate and build relationships with a wide variety of stakeholders from across the public sector, playing a pivotal role in reacting and reshaping the country’s CT approach. 

Building a meaningful career is important but we also know how important it is to harness your individuality, and our focus is on ensuring we provide you with the right opportunities to do both. Whilst we’ll work with you to further develop your core skills through a structured training and development programme, we’ll also encourage, support, and give you the time and space for personal development and growth.
