Economist

The Economic and Social Analysis Team (ESAT) provides high-quality, evidence-based advice and analysis on the development of HSE strategy and policy in tackling serious occupational injury; work-related ill health including cancer and mental health; and serious industrial accidents. This includes risks arising from emerging technologies like driverless vehicles and cyber threats; and labour market shifts like zero-hour contracts and the ‘gig’ economy. ESAT also conducts some analysis on a commercial basis, acting as a consultant to provide evidence to assess occupational risks and support their proportionate management. We carry this work out as part of HSE’s wider commercial strategy. This work can provide experience of a wide range of areas of analysis and techniques; and the opportunity to manage delivery to customers in the private sector, universities and the governments of other countries.

As part of a team currently comprising seven economists and five social researchers, you will have many opportunities to take on responsibility and develop your skills. The Economic and Social Analysis Team provides advice across the scope of HSE’s remit – from offshore oil and gas exploration to genetically modified organisms – and this offers great variety that will help you form a solid basis for a career as a government economist.
