Summary

Please note that the PSFA (including the National Fraud Initiative) will imminently be moving from the Cabinet Office to the Department for Work and Pensions.

The Public Sector Fraud Authority is at the cutting edge of the government’s response to tackling fraud against the public sector and builds on the internationally recognised reputation of the Counter Fraud Function as a world-leader in tackling fraud and corruption in the public sector.

Fraud represents a cost to the government which is estimated at £33.2bn - £58.8bn per year. At PSFA, we play an instrumental role in spearheading the Government's response to fraud by developing innovative policies and initiatives to counter this threat with the mission of funnelling real, tangible financial benefits back to the public.

In pursuing this goal, we utilise a network that spans across public and private sectors. Serving as the foremost experts in public sector fraud, PSFA affords those who work with us unrivalled access to Ministers in an area that is rapidly rising to the forefront of the Government’s agenda. With an ever-expanding remit in an arena of growing ministerial priority, now is a truly exciting time to join a team that has an impact throughout the machinery of government.

The NFI team manages and delivers the NFI data matching service. This service includes a national data matching exercise to identify fraud and error across a range of public sector datasets, and data pilots to test the effectiveness of processing new and different types of data for fraud. The team works as part of the PSFA’s wider fraud data services team. This role offers flexibility in location, with a requirement to attend face-to-face meetings across the UK at least 5-10 times per year. This includes Stoke-on-Trent, Manchester, Birmingham and other regional hubs.
