**Job summary**:
**Your future as a regulator will shape the experiences of students everywhere**

**The challenge**

If you believe that every student, whatever their background, deserves a fulfilling experience of higher education, you could help shape the regulatory system that makes it a reality. As the independent regulator of higher education in England, the Office for Students (OfS) aims to ensure a high quality experience and the best value - for students, for taxpayers, and for the wider public good. This is an exciting time to join us as we embark on our ambitious new strategy, focusing on quality and standards, and equality of opportunity. We’re on the lookout for aspiring regulators to support the next phase of regulation in these areas.

**Job description**:
**The role**

Working in the interests of students, we regulate to ensure universities and colleges meet our minimum expectations. We also influence and incentivise even better performance. Starting in either the Compliance and Student Protection directorate or the Participation, Access and Equality directorate, you’ll be given a series of assignments which will help develop your regulatory skills and experience. The work is highly varied and you could be involved in:

- registering new higher education providers wanting to enter the sector
- assessing providers’ plans to improve access and participation among underrepresented groups
- delivering funded programmes such as Uni Connect
- investigating and assessing compliance with our conditions of registration and intervening in the interest of students
- developing and implementing policy reforms to improve quality and standards and equality of opportunity
- improving the systems within the OfS that deliver services to providers

It’s a highly supportive environment where learning and development is actively encouraged and supported. You'll soon take ownership of your own portfolio of work, with the opportunity to develop a career path in line with your interests.

**Person specification**:
**About you**

While previous regulatory experience would be welcome, it is not essential as comprehensive training is available. Our teams have joined the OfS with previous experience working in regulators and higher education providers, as well as in the civil service, broader education roles, and other public sector organisations. Above all, we’re looking for people who share our commitment to working rigorously to protect students’ interests.

We do need you to be practised in gathering information from a wide variety of sources and analysing it to come to informed judgements. A confident communicator, you’re able to present your findings effectively, both in person and in writing. You’ll have a problem-solving approach combining flexibility and creativity to address novel and complex issues. You’re also skilled in fostering productive working relationships with both colleagues and external organisations.

**Benefits**:

- Learning and development tailored to your role
- An environment with flexible working options
- A culture encouraging inclusion and diversity
- A Civil Service pension with an average employer contribution of 27%
