<h4>Job summary</h4><p>We’re looking for three exceptional Deployable Project Foundation Scientists to help us make a difference to our planet. </p><p>The Met Office’s Deployable Project Scientists team is recruiting a new cohort of exceptional scientists who want to make a real difference to our planet. As part of this team, you will undertake a series of short-term placements across a variety of host teams, applying your scientific expertise to diverse challenges and gaining exposure to many areas of our organisation.</p><p>As our Deployable Project Scientist (EO), the job may be suitable for hybrid working, which is where an employee works part of the week in the office and part of the week from home. This is a voluntary, non-contractual arrangement and the location advertised will be your contractual place of work. </p><p>Our opportunity is full time, 37 hours per week, but we would also consider applicants wishing to work a minimum of 30 hours per week and we will also try our best to consider those intending to work a job share. Our people are at the heart of what we do and we'll do our best to agree a working pattern that works for everyone. </p><p><strong>World changing work </strong></p><p>From science to technology, from meteorology to management, and from planning to communication, our expertise helps us stand out as the authority on weather accuracy and climate prediction. We help individuals, industries and government to make better decisions to stay safe and thrive. This is the Met Office. This is who we are. </p><ul><li>We’re a force for good - focusing on our environmental and social impact</li><li>We’re experts by nature - always learning and developing to do things better</li><li>We live and breathe it - putting our purpose at the heart of decision-making</li><li>We’re better together - understanding partnerships and inclusivity make us greater</li><li>We keep evolving - pushing boundaries to make tomorrow better for our customers</li></ul><h4>Job description</h4><p><strong>Your world of expertise </strong></p><p>The Deployable Project Scientists team offers a unique route into the Met Office.

This model provides a rare opportunity to explore different scientific areas, learn new analytical and coding techniques, and build a wide professional network. Many scientists describe it as the ideal launchpad for becoming a well-rounded scientific professional.</p><p>Although these are permanent positions, team members typically “graduate” into other roles across the Met Office after around two years, choosing a position that aligns with their preferred specialism. This makes the role perfect for people who are enthused by the breadth of Met Office science and want to avoid specialising too quickly.</p><p>You will receive tailored support and training based on your experience and the needs of the projects you undertake. Starting as part of a cohort also means you will immediately have a peer network for support, collaboration and shared development, both during your placement period and long after.</p><h4>Person specification</h4><p><strong>Essential Criteria, skills and experience: </strong></p><p>1. Experts by Nature <br> You will have practical experience and foundational knowledge in a relevant scientific or technical discipline.

We’re a force for good <br> You are an inquisitive and motivated problem-solver, with experience applying critical reasoning and analytical skills to scientific or technical challenges relevant to the work of the Met Office. You can demonstrate how you approach problems, evaluate evidence, and draw sound conclusions.</p><p>3. You are a proactive professional <br> You take responsibility for your professional growth and development, showing the ability to reflect on your performance, identify training needs and manage your time effectively. You are able to learn and apply new concepts, tools and methods to support the delivery of project objectives.</p><p>4.
