  • Adopting standard operating procedures to ensure compliance while promoting the successful application of quality and Value for Money (VfM) for the organization.
  • Ensuring that expenditures comply with current ONS Governance, Cabinet Office guidelines, and relevant regulations.
  • Upholding the principles of inclusivity and support in all facets of your role.
