**About us**

**The Skills Group** brings together elements from teams working on Higher Education and Further Education, and teams from the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), to consolidate all post-16 policy and delivery work, making it possible for the DfE to take a more coherent and effective approach to meeting employer and labour market needs.

We enable a high quality, outcomes-focused post-16 system that gives learners the skills and knowledge they need to succeed in their working lives and meet the needs of the economy.

We aim to ensure that we become a better local and regional partner, creating a place-based approach to post-16 education and skills development:

- providing assurance that funding for the education and training sector is spent, achieve value for money and delivering the policies and priorities set by the Secretary of State
- regulates FE colleges, employers and training providers, academies, intervening where there is risk of failure and/or where there is evidence of mismanagement of public funds
- delivers major projects and is responsible for the operation of key services in the education and skills sector

The Post-16 Regions and FE Provider Oversight Directorate within the Skills Group of the DfE works to enable schools, academies, colleges, and independent learning providers to offer high quality education and training to young people and adults in England so that young people and adults can reach their potential, regardless of their background.

**Job description**:
The South West and South Territorial Team work with colleges and training providers in the geography. Our key focus is:

- identifying, managing and mitigating risk to provision and public funding
- intervening early to prevent and address failure, minimising the impact on students
- early intervention - preventative action and risk management to prevent an organisation being placed under formal intervention
- formal intervention
- where the team is working with struggling providers
- work on sector restructuring e.g. mergers

The team provides the outward interface for the DfE with FE providers. In doing so we work with a wide network of colleagues from across the DfE.

Executive Officers (EO) in the DfE provide key support in the delivery of world-class policy development and business delivery. They are crucial to ensuring the smooth and effective running of the business, wherever they are based. They work with pace to provide high quality support to their customers and colleagues.
