Job summary

This role is based in the European and Global Issues Secretariat (EGIS). EGIS is led by the Prime Ministers Adviser on European and Global Issues and Second Permanent Secretary to the Cabinet Office. We provide support to the Prime Minister; the Chief Secretary to the Prime Minister; and the Minister for the Cabinet Office, in his role as Minister for European Union Relations.

Our core role is to ensure that the UK has a consistent and coherent approach to our relationship with the EU, and to international economic and global issues - in support of the UKs national interest, its economic stability, secure borders and national security foundations, and the Governments missions (particularly on growth, health and clean energy), including supporting the integrity of the United Kingdom. We aim to be an excellent, interesting and challenging place to work, which attracts and retains high-performing people from across Government, with a supportive, diverse and inclusive working environment.
