Business Continuity Manager

Our work's essential.

Make sure it continues no matter what.

The challenge

Often in the public eye, the Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) is an evolving public corporation. Essentially, we're responsible for shaping and delivering the regulation of nuclear safety and security across the UK. It's a critical job - which is why you'll be so important. As a Business Continuity Manager, you'll work with our senior leaders to keep ONR operational, whatever the circumstances.

The role

This is a chance to build your career within a unique organisation. Your main task is to embed our business continuity programme across ONR so we're ready to respond and operate, whatever disruption occurs. It's an exciting opportunity to develop and implement a policy framework, through collaboration with ONR leaders. Organised and proactive, you'll stay up to date with emerging risks - for example, Covid-19 - and ONR's changing needs.

Day to day, you'll be helping stakeholders complete business impact analyses (BIAs) and design recovery strategies. You'll also deliver training and keep a central library of Business Continuity plans. As deputy to the Head of Incident Management and Business Continuity, you'll provide support and leadership, too. That means you could be stepping up and implementing plans if the worst occurs.

The person

With proven experience in the field, you'll bring specialist expertise. You can implement a full BCM lifecycle to international standards and manage an emergency response. Your knowledge should cover Business Continuity Institute (BCI) Good Practice Guidelines 2018 (GPG) and ISO 22301:2012. And, if you don't have a relevant degree or qualification (ABCI/MBCI/CBCP), we'll support your studies.

While technical knowledge is vital, so are people skills. It's important that you can inspire trust and confidence at all levels. Able to collaborate, you'll be a persuasive communicator who builds networks spanning industry and government. And you'll thrive in a fast-paced environment, where development's encouraged.

The rewards

We offer competitive salaries at the ONR, with this role attracting a salary of

£39,001 - £47,160. Furthermore, you'll be eligible for a substantial Civil Service Pension scheme (including ill-health retirement and lump sum family benefits). Plus, you'll receive a generous holiday entitlement.

About us
