HSE played a significant role in the national response during the Pandemic, and we expect to participate in the Scottish and UK Covid 19 Public Inquiries. We are recruiting for the role of Head of the Pandemic Inquiry Team to lead the HSE’s response and work across government to learn lessons for the future. This is a high-profile position, reporting to the Directors of Legal Services and Engagement & Policy Division and senior leaders on the HSE Executive Committee.
You will be a key member of the senior leadership team of the organisation, linking with senior leaders across all the divisions to be able to respond to the Inquiry appropriately. You will also be responsible for working closely and , liaising with other departments and key stakeholders and external legal services providers. You will be expected to recruit and manage other colleagues in the Inquiry Team and deliver a portfolio of policy work during times when the Inquiries are not focussed on HSE. The role requires self-management, flexibility, and agility as it spans two HSE divisions: Legal Services Division and Engagement & Policy Division.
