Summary

The Public Sector Fraud Authority (PSFA) is a fast paced delivery and operational team that is responsible for holding departments and arms-length bodies to account for their handling of fraud in the public sector. The Authority will write the standards for counter fraud work across government and hold public bodies to account against these. Working in the PSFA offers access to a wide range of stakeholders across government and the opportunity to work with various sectors in a high-profile policy area with high media, parliamentary and ministerial interest.

The PSFA was launched on the 3rd August 2022 following an increased focus in government on tackling fraud. It succeeded the Government Counter Fraud Function (GCFF) in the Cabinet Office. The PSFA is at the centre of this function and leads work across government and public bodies to improve the prevention, detection and recovery of fraud. The PSFA is outcome and performance driven, offers a depth and breadth of expertise and works jointly with HM Treasury (HMT) to tackle fraud in the public sector.

The National Fraud Initiative (NFI) team is a remote/virtual team that sits within the PSFA Data and Analytics function. Team members are spread across the UK. We are looking for a full time member of staff, but alternative working patterns may be considered. We can be flexible about the location of the post holder, but there will be a requirement to be flexible with regard to working hours and with travel as you will be required to attend meetings across the UK, with the majority being in Stoke on Trent, London, York, Newcastle, Glasgow and Manchester.

Structurally the NFI team is made up of the Operational Delivery (OD) Team and Business Development (BD) Team. The objectives of the BD Team are to: design and deliver strategies and a work programme to counter both existing and new fraud, work in collaboration with organisations across the public and private sector, and to innovate the way in which data is used.

Please note that the PSFA (including the NFI) will imminently be moving from the Cabinet Office to the Department for Work and Pensions but will remain sponsored by HMT.
