We are continuing to build a diverse DfE, in an inclusive environment which nurtures and realises potential in all, at all levels.

Equality and Diversity - Department for Education

The Department for Education is responsible for education, children’s social services, higher and further education policy, apprenticeships, and wider skills in England. We work to achieve a highly educated society in which opportunity is equal for all, no matter your background or family circumstances.

We are recruiting two SEO posts to the Higher Technical Education Programme Team. One post holder will join the Strategy team, supporting the programme to prioritise its activities to maximise impact, aligning and influencing the programme’s ambitions with other skills reforms programmes in the DfE and across government, and supporting with preparation for the next Spending Review. The other post holder will join the education provider team, supporting it to grow high quality Higher Technical Education provision, including Higher Technical Qualifications (HTQs), at scale, to meet and drive increased demand.

**Job description**:
**Strategy team**
- Working across the programme to help teams prioritise their policy intervention so that the programme delivers maximum impact and increases learner enrolment.
- Influencing and aligning programme policy with skills reforms, such as T Levels, apprenticeships, skills bootcamps, and HE reform.
- Leading the programme’s contribution to the upcoming spending review.
- Supporting our work in building a business case for education provider funding to inform our bid for the Spending Review.

**Provider team**
- Leading on the evaluation of previous provider funds to understand what’s worked well and how we can improve our impact.
- Contributing to an initiative which funds education providers to grow Higher Technical provision.
- Supporting on the teams’ development of a Higher Technical Education strategy for education providers.

**Person specification**:
We are looking for a capable, self-motivated, and enthusiastic individual. The successful applicant will be able to understand the wider drivers for this work and work at pace to deliver results in complex environments. They will be able to work with teams across the DfE and with external stakeholders such as education providers. We also expect the post holder to be a clear and confident communicator who enjoys working on an agenda that is one of the Education Secretary’s priority skills mission.

**Essential criteria**
- Have excellent strategy and policy skills, who can understand and influence the wider context.
- Be pro-active and solutions focused, who can deliver positive outcomes in challenging circumstances.
- Be an effective collaborator and can work with a range of internal and external stakeholders.
- Have excellent written and oral communication skills.

**Behaviours**:
We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

- Seeing the Big Picture
- Delivering at Pace
- Working Together
- Communicating and Influencing

**Benefits**:
Applicants currently holding a permanent post in the Civil Service should note that, if successful, their salary on appointment would be determined by the Department’s transfer / promotion policies.
As a member of the DfE, you will be entitled to join the highly competitive Civil Service Pension Scheme, which many experts agree is one of the most generous in the UK.

You will have 25 days leave, increasing by 1 day every year to a maximum of 30 days after five years’ service. In addition, all staff receive the King’s Birthday privilege holiday and 8 days’ bank and public holidays.
We offer flexible working arrangements, such as job sharing, term-time working, flexi-time and compressed hours.

Most DfE employees will be working a hybrid pattern, spending at least 60% of their time in an office or work setting. Changes to these working arrangements are available in exceptional circumstances but must be agreed with the line manager and in line with the requirements of the ro
