**Job summary**:
The Public Sector Fraud Authority (PSFA) 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 Team**

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 a fast paced environment 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 HMT to tackle fraud in the public sector.

The PSFA Enforcement Unit is a new team dedicated to enabling action against fraud in any government department or public body. We will assess and develop cases, undertake fraud investigations to the civil and criminal standards, and use Proceeds of Crime Act, Police & Criminal Evidence Act, and bespoke civil powers, to recover funds, impose civil penalties, and seek criminal justice outcomes for the worst offenders. The Unit is commencing operational activity, working with outsourced service providers to take civil action while we build the unit and gain powers through legislation.

The unit will grow quickly over the next two years and develop into an effective fraud investigation function. This is an exciting time to join and lead something entirely new in government, and make a real difference in the fight against fraud.

**Job description**:
We are seeking investigators to conduct a range of investigations into fraud against the public sector.

The roles will suit an experienced investigator (or equivalent experience in a compliance/enforcement environment) who wants a new challenge in a new high-profile unit with the ambition to build for the future and make a difference in the fight against fraud.

**Person specification**:
**Responsibilities**:

- Conduct lawful investigations developing cases for criminal prosecution, civil litigation, ensuring all legal and operational requirements are met on the way to preparing cases for submission for civil action, or charge advice and/or judicial outcomes, or other compliance outcomes.
- Work with partner agencies in the co-ordination of multi-agency operations.
- Working with outsourced partners and their team, sift and analyse large volumes of data, during and follow complex financial investigations, and seek and act upon opportunities to obtain evidential material.
- Work with Financial Investigators.
- Act as a witness in both civil litigation and criminal prosecutions.
- Build effective external partnerships and collaborate with other government departments and public bodies, and wider UK law enforcement.
- The role will require some travel to PSFA locations, other offices and locations linked to investigations to conduct interviews and searches as required. This may include staying overnight.
- Skills in evaluation, insight and decision-making - maximising data and insights to best effect, and deciding the best course of action.
- Ability to form and deliver through collaborative relationships with multiple stakeholders, managing different expectations and goals to ensure delivery of outcomes.

**Additional information**:
A minimum 60% of your working time should be spent at your principal workplace. Although requirements to attend other locations for official business will also count towards this level of attendance.
