Thank you for your interest in this key role at the Department for Education.

​

It is a really exciting time to join the department, which is responsible for education right the way through from pre-school to adult learning. We have a full programme of reform across the organisation to improve teaching and learning, enhance quality and actively promote social mobility and access to good schools, colleges, universities and other providers. This is an agenda where finance plays an increasingly important role. Ever tighter budgets mean the department and our delivery partners need to be as effective and efficient as we can be.

 

This is the opportunity for you to join and be part of building a strong finance profession. Our ambition is to put finance at the heart of government decision-making, transforming how the Civil Service and the Department for Education think about and manage public spending. 

​

We have a number of exciting roles across our function. Each of these roles, whether they are in Financial Reporting or Financial Strategy, will play a key part in building a strong and empowered finance team, supporting the department to make evidence-based decisions and deliver the best outcomes for our learners, users and taxpayers. 

​

You will join a team of highly motivated and passionate finance professionals, who value diversity in all its forms and whose combined talents will enable the department to achieve the stretching goals and high standards our Secretary of State has set for us. 

​

Thank you for your interest and we wish you all the best on your application. 

​

Regards, 

​

Iain King & Jonathan Clear
