BEIS has a broad and crucial role in building an economy that works for everyone through the Industrial Strategy and our Clean Growth plans.
As well as strengthening the country’s business performance, ensuring the UK is a leader in the global response tackling climate change, supporting scientific research and innovation and building strong relationships with Europe and other trade partners, BEIS is focused on improving people’s standard of living. Our employees have the chance to work on some exciting, thought provoking challenges including driverless cars, renewable energy, smart cities, or how to improve everyone’s working lives by promoting flexible working.
To help BEIS reach its wide-ranging goals our teams work alongside dynamic partner organisations such as UK Research and Innovation, Committee on Climate Change and UK Space Agency, as well as governments all over the world.
As a department, we believe organisations that simultaneously have both diverse workforces and inclusive cultures, and which use these two things together, serve their people and society better. Therefore, ensuring BEIS is a diverse and inclusive environment is one of our top values and priorities.
At BEIS, you will be working with a high profile and varied workload. You will have the opportunity to expand your knowledge base and to develop further strengths. Our development and mentoring programmes, together with those offered by professions across government, including Finance or Project Management for example, support you in advancing your career. Should you eventually wish to broaden your experience further, you can use excellent links across government and with our partner organisations to do this.
BEIS offers a highly competitive mix of benefits including investment in learning and development for all staff, subsidised on-site gym membership, performance related awards, many diversity networks, groups and social activities.
Creating a culture of flexible working is important to us, which is why we offer the possibility of job sharing, compressed hours, homeworking, plus maternity, paternity, adoption and shared parental leave.
