We’re Hiring: Senior Policy Leader – Youth & Adult Skills Reform

Department for Work and Pensions (DWP)

We’re looking for an exceptional policy leader to drive one of DWP’s most important reform agendas: transforming the youth and adult skills offer to improve opportunities for millions across the UK.

This is a rare chance to make an impact at the UK’s largest public service department, supporting around 20 million people through the State Pension and a range of working‑age, disability and ill‑health benefits.

DWP has an ambitious programme of change, including priorities set out in the Get Britain Working White Paper, with a strong emphasis on tackling rising youth inactivity and delivering a modernised adult skills agenda. With adult skills activity now integrated into DWP, this role offers a unique platform to shape the future of skills provision.

We’re looking for:

* ✔️ A proven policy leader with experience delivering in complex environments
* ✔️ Someone who builds strong relationships across large organisations and with external partners
* ✔️ A leader comfortable navigating complexity and working across government
* ✔️ A credible adviser to ministers and senior leaders
* ✔️ An inclusive leader who champions DWP’s values and creates a brilliant place to work

If you’re passionate about improving opportunities for citizens and want to lead meaningful reform at the heart of government, we’d love to hear from you.
