In July 2016, the Prime Minister established the Department for Business Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS), creating a new Government Department that integrates policy agendas for energy and climate change with business and science whilst also developing a comprehensive Industrial Strategy.

BEIS leads one of the most challenging and critical set of objectives in Government, aiming to build an economy that works for everyone so that there are great places in every part of the UK for people to work and for businesses to invest, innovate and grow.

There has never been a more exciting time to work in BEIS, with a new, fast-paced agenda as the UK negotiates its exit from the European Union and adapts its relationships with European partners and the rest of the world.

The Prime Minister has identi ied the development of an Industrial Strategy as one of her top priorities.

BEIS is developing a modern Industrial Strategy that builds on Britain’s strategic strengths and encourages long-term investment and innovation, delivering jobs and economic growth to communities across the country.

In order to rise to these challenges we need the best people to work on them. We are delighted to be able to offer the opportunity for high quality secondees to join the Department and have a real input into shaping this crucial agenda. We have a range of exciting and challenging roles available for motivated and innovative candidates that can demonstrate they have the passion, values and ability to make a real difference. The positions will be demanding and fast-paced, high-profile and rewarding. We invite you to join our structured secondee programme, the BEIS Fellowship.

I look forward to your application and the prospect of welcoming you to the Department.

There has never been a more exciting time to work in BEIS
