The Cabinet Office

Administrative opportunities
The department is looking for a number of high calibre administrators to join on a permanent basis to support projects across our wide range of high profile policy, commercial and reform work streams – including working in ministers’ private offices.

We are looking for highly organised individuals who are able to prioritise their own time and deliver results in a very busy, fast moving environment. Successful candidates will be confident, with strong interpersonal skills and the ability to remain calm and reliable under pressure.

Policy opportunities
There are a number of opportunities to work across a range of high profile projects. These would be particularly suitable for graduates (or those with relevant work experience) and require developed analytical skills. Successful candidates will be flexible in their approach to work, have strong organisational skills, strong analytical ability and excellent written/oral communication skills.

Appointments are for two years working as part of the department’s flexible resourcing and development scheme – where people work on a series of time-bound assignments. Outstanding performers may have the opportunity to be considered for permanent positions.

Some current projects include:
Implementation – supporting implementation of priority projects of the Prime Minister and Deputy Prime Minister
Constitution – delivering electoral reform and constitutional change

National Citizen Service – developing policies that will engage the nation’s young people in community activities
Civil Service Reform – creating the future for government workers

Procurement – forging new supplier relationships to deliver savings on all government spending
Private Office – directly supporting ministers and senior officials

The Cabinet Office
Head of Management Accounting
Fixed Term appointment
£56,840 to £70,700
Based in Whitehall, London

The Cabinet Office’s Efficiency and Reform Group (ERG) was created in 2010 to act as the Chief Operating Officer function for HMG. The Group reports to the Minister for the Cabinet Office, with an Efficiency and Reform Board co-chaired by the Minister for the Cabinet Office and the Chief Secretary to the Treasury. The remit of the group is wide and includes the corporate functions and services typically found in the Group Headquarters of a conglomerate or multinational company: Procurement, Supplier Management, Property, Operational Excellence, Major Projects, Information and Communications Technology, Digital, Marketing and Communications, Public and Civil Service Reform supporting MI with expertise. It is also a focal point for
commercial activities in central government – building and maintaining external relationships is a central part of ERG work. It also incorporates the Fraud, Error and Debt Taskforce, which focuses on minimising losses in these areas.

We are looking for a Head of Management Accounting to lead ERG’s work on management accounting across government. This post is in the strategic centre of ERG and has a dual focus:

• First, to ensure that Performance Management within ERG is aligned with financial management information, linking efficiency savings with both departmental plans and overall government consolidation.

• Secondly, to improve government departments’ management information on their

c£110bn operational expenditure, ensuring that there is close correlation between the operational management information and the management accounts.

The Head of Management Accounting role would suit an ambitious management accountant with strong experience in large change programmes, particularly those focused on delivering a major improvement in MI quality across a large and diverse organisation.

This is a challenging role but for the right individual provides an unrivalled opportunity to demonstrate and develop skills in management, leadership and delivery in a complex area at the very heart of UK Government.
