Overview

This is an opportunity to push forward an important and interesting agenda. You will be responsible for DBT's counter fraud function and leading our work to tackle fraud under the Covid 19 loan schemes. As the senior counter fraud Functional Lead I will be looking to you and your team to continue building our organisational capability and maturity. On Covid 19 loans, we have a comprehensive programme of detection, recovery and enforcement to recover as much public money as possible and you will need to drive forward this agenda with purpose. You will need to lead your team with clarity and enthusiasm and work confidently and collaboratively with our key partners including the Public Sector Fraud Authority, The Insolvency Service and the British Business Bank. Our people are central to the work of this Directorate and therefore I\'m looking for candidates who will be proactive members of my wider Senior Leadership Team and who will work with me to create an environment where our people can thrive.
