Government events jobs in LondonCreate job alerts

Education providers can obtain funding from central government (the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), which on the 01/04/2025 became part of the Department for Education (DfE)) to provide ‘post-16 delivery'. The DfE also devolves adult education funding, now called adult skills fund to Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCAs), including the Greater London Authority (GLA). This includes 16 to 19 study programmes, T Levels, T Levels transition programme, apprenticeships, adult education budget, adult skills fund, community learning (now called tailored learning), advanced learner loans, skills bootcamps, 16 to 19 bursary fund and free meals in further education. The Funding Assurance team examine and monitor the data reported to the ESFA, now DfE and the GLA and MCA clients to identify possible errors in the funding that has been claimed by education providers for post-16 delivery. The team therefore helps to ensure that government funding is being used as intended . As part of this team, you will therefore have an important role in helping to ensure that any improper claims for funding can be recovered by the DfE, GLA and MCAs. The role will principally involve working with the Funding Assurance Partner, Manager and other members of the close knit Funding Assurance team of specialist staff to help plan and deliver funding assurance reviews. The Funding Assurance team is typically supplemented by members of the wider Public and Social Sector Risk Consulting team during busy periods and you will therefore also feel part of this much bigger team of circa 100 staff too. You will be responsible for delivering proactive, high quality and value-added assurance over compliance with ESFA, now DfE, GLA and MCA rules to further education colleges, independent training providers and higher education institutions nationally. The role will principally involve working with the Manager to plan, co-ordinate and deliver funding assurance reviews. This will include planning and liaison with the education provider/client, preparation of working papers, briefing the team and leading fieldwork as well as quality assurance of work, providing feedback and reporting of the work. You will also have the opportunity to play a key role in development and delivery of training alongside business development activities ranging from proposals and events, to training the funding assurance team and colleagues within the Public and Social Sector Risk Consulting team. The team has experienced strong growth in recent years and is well placed to build on this further with strong opportunities in the short to medium for further progression for successful candidates. You will also be expected to contribute to the wider success of the Public and Social Sector Risk Consulting service line and help in its continuous improvement. We work in a hybrid working model, so as an Assistant Manager you will split your time between working from home, visiting the office and client sites. This role could therefore be based in Nottingham, London, Manchester or Birmingham, with travelling subject to client and business need.
