The Office for National Statistics (ONS) is the UKs largest producer of official statistics, covering a range of key economic, social, and demographic topics. These include measuring changes in the value of the UK economy, estimating the size, geographic distribution, and characteristics of the population, and providing indicators of price inflation, employment, earnings, crime, and migration.

Be at the heart of decision-making in one of the UK's leading data organisations. As Personal Assistant to the Senior Civil Service (SCS) leadership team within Data Products, Services and Governance (DPSG), you'll play a pivotal role in supporting senior leaders who are helping shape the future of data use across government, research, and society.

Data Products, Services and Governance (DPSG) is a central directorate within the Office for National Statistics (ONS), providing the expertise, systems and governance that enable data to be accessed, shared and used effectively.
