**£51,846 - £56,662**

We are the independent regulator of higher education in England.

We aim to ensure that every student, whatever their background, has a fulfilling experience of higher education that enriches their lives and careers. We also care about supporting and developing our staff, working together to achieve more than each of us can do alone.

We’re proud of our people, our culture and the benefits we offer. At the OfS we want to create a welcoming and engaging working environment which is free from discrimination.

We’re looking for skilled, committed people who care about students and their experience of higher education. Join us and you’ll be part of an energetic, forward-looking organisation with high ambitions and big opportunities for our people.

**Job description**:
**Job Summary**:
The main purpose of the role is to undertake financial analysis based on complex data supplied by the regulated providers, information available about them in the public domain and the general knowledge regarding macroeconomic conditions in which the providers operate, to make judgements on their financial strength. This analysis is key in supporting the OfS’s regulatory decisions, so the postholder will write evidence-based assessments that are intelligible for non-experts, and deliver crucial financial insight and recommendations to decision-makers. The role therefore requires engagement with internal stakeholders, but it also involves interactions with external stakeholders, when necessary to support the decision making. In addition the role will provide an opportunity to input into improving the systems and processes that deliver services to customer teams internally and to providers.

**The Key person attributes to fulfil this role are**:

- Qualified accountant (with significant experience in a finance role) or part qualified (final level) with relevant experience in a similar role
- Ability to analyse and communicate complex financial issues effectively, orally and in writing
- Ability to understand, interpret and identify risks in financial performance in diverse types of organisations
- Ability to reach and convey reliable and challenge-proof judgements to non-specialists on the basis of complex and imperfect information
- Ability to work with high levels of complexity and ambiguity
- Ability to work collaboratively and flexibly in a complex environment to deliver the team’s functions

**Enablers**:
**Knowledge and Learning**
- Maintains a comprehensive knowledge and understanding of the regulatory context for the OfS’s work
- Maintains the professional knowledge necessary to deliver the team’s financial assessment functions

**Planning**
- Plans and manages own workload and works collaboratively with others to resolve competing demands, and copes with changing priorities in a flexible and proactive way
- Identifies risk to plans and delivery
- Demonstrates a readiness to contribute to decision-making and to take the initiative and originate action in circumstances where norms are already established

**Communication**
- Provides actionable technical and professional feedback to colleagues on financial assessment matters
- Writes in a clear and concise manner, using appropriate grammar, style and language, which is tailored for the reader. Writing will set out financial assessments in a way that is evidence-based, intelligible for non-experts, and provides confidence to decision-makers
- Communicates clearly and fluently to individuals and small audiences, using appropriate style and language, and with good presentation skills

**Relationships**
- Demonstrates a confident and co-operative style and deals effectively with people at all levels to build positive working relationships
- Maintains credibility with other teams in the directorate and with external contacts
- Maintains effective work behaviour in the face of setbacks or pressure and remains calm and professional in such circumstances

**Person specification**:
**Working for us**:
The OfS regulates the higher education sector on behalf of all students. We value diversity and the wealth of perspectives, experience and ideas that it brings to our work, and we strive to embed equality of opportunity in everything we do.

We recognise that flexibility can enable people to work more effectively. A set of organisati
