Job summary:

Family separation is never easy.

The Child Maintenance Service helps parents, who are unable to make a private financial agreement in support of their child(ren)'s living costs, ensure and at times enforce, the legal responsibility to provide financial support.

Our mission is to 'get money to children' because it makes a real difference to children's lives.

Child Maintenance Service is not only undergoing a significant period of change as we drive a crucial transformation agenda, but in tandem, we continue to deliver a politically significant and fundamentally crucial service to millions of separated families around the country who depend upon the work we do.

Our story over the last two years is one of impressive progress and improvement.

Despite the progress we've made, we are unashamedly ambitious about what more we can achieve and the difference we can make for the families who need us.

Child Maintenance Service is an amazing place to work.

Walk into any one of our service centres and you will be overwhelmed by the passion and commitment that our people have for supporting our customers.
