Job Summary
The Health and Safety Executive (HSE) is Britain’s national regulator for workplace health and safety.
We are dedicated to protecting people and places and helping everyone lead safer and healthier lives.
The Change Team sits within our Operational Services Division and is comprised of three key pillars:
Programme & Project Management (“PPM”)
Business Design & Change (“BDC”).
These pillars contain professional practitioners who are deployed to projects and programmes within HSE, and each pillar is led by a Head of Change.
The Business Analyst (BA) role sits in the Business Design & Change Management (BDCM) pillar.
The Business Analyst will work alongside other professionals, e.g. other Analysts, Business Design & Change Practitioners, Business Architects, and operational experts.
The role is a key position in designing, building and implementing new operating models and digital services in line with HSE’s strategic priorities, focusing on efficiency, effectiveness, regulatory outcomes, and improving the user experience.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
