**Job summary**:
The first duty of the government is to keep citizens safe and the country secure. The Home Office has been at the front line of this effort since 1782. As such, we play a fundamental role in maintaining the security and economic prosperity of the UK. The Home Office leads on immigration and passports, refugee protection, counter-terrorism, policing, fire services, and crime and drugs policy.

This is an exciting time to be at the Home Office. You’ll have a chance to shape the future and support our mission to deliver exceptional public services that work for everyone.

Our work is guided by these principles:

- We put user needs first
- We value delivery and outcomes over process
- We work in the open

Our flexible working policy ensures a healthy work-life balance. We also nurture talent and offer a broad range of learning and development opportunities that will help you flourish in your role.

We work hard to maintain a positive working culture and are committed to helping you fulfil your potential. We value diversity and provide an open, inclusive and supportive environment to help you do your best work.

You can keep up-to-date with our work on the Home Office DDaT blog.

**Job description**:
Assurance Leads are responsible for helping teams to meet relevant policies, specifically, Spend and Standards Assurance against internal and central government standards, including compliance with a range of supporting digital standards and practices. To do this you’ll establish and maintain an appropriate assurance framework and coordinate the assurance activities of other members of the assurance function as they undertake technical assessments, evaluations, and reporting.

This means providing independent and constructive advice and assurance on digital government standards, including the Technology Code of Practice, Cabinet Office Spend Control process, Service Standard and DDaT Functional Standards, as well as the Home Office DDaT Strategy.

You’ll engage with stakeholders and teams to ensure that assurance is embedded appropriately across DDaT, with a mission to improve quality, reduce the risks of non-compliance, and support the successful delivery of critical Home Office services.

Whilst your role is part of the wider Quality Assurance and Testing professional community, line management and delivery accountability for this role is with the CTO team

**Person specification**:
Your main day-to-day responsibilities will be to:

- Leading independent assurance and review activities across DDaT, including thoroughly evaluating assurance controls through specific review projects.
- Identifying and addressing root causes to problems early when it’s easier and more cost-effective to correct.
- Building a culture of quality management around ‘what’ is built and ‘how’ things are built and maintained, involving all members of DDaT.
- Establish and maintain an appropriate assurance framework and coordinate the assurance activities of other members of this assurance function as they undertake technical assessments, evaluations, and reporting.
- Manage, lead and report on assurance and assessment activities, including peer reviews, assurance workshops and service assessments.
- Attend regular assurance and governance boards to provide expert advice on requirements and assessment activities, working with QSA 2nd line, where required, to help grow and sustain a mature DDaT-wide approach to assurance.
- Monitoring dashboards, data, and process outcomes and analysing data for triggered interventions to determine the level of assurance required.
- Agreeing appropriate level of assurance required with Head of assurance and stakeholders.
- Creating intelligent assurance reports for senior management and stakeholders to aid risk management and data-led decision making.
- Work with Cabinet Office Central Digital and Data Office to ensure Home Office products and services comply with technology digital policy requirements.
- Report and track recommendations resulting from assurance reviews and assessment activities.
- Run workshops and training for DDaT colleagues to upskill teams and assessors, creating a culture of quality management that supports the delivery of costs effective solutions that work for our users.
