Department for Work &
Pensions
Working for the Department for Work and Pensions
We're responsible for welfare, pensions and child maintenance policy. We deliver the State Pension and a range of disability and ill health benefits to around 20 million people.
What we deliver every day changes the lives of millions of people
Almost everyone in the UK will be our customer at some point in their lives, so it’s only right that our workforce represents the people we’re serving. Diversity helps us thrive by bringing together the richest possible variety of perspectives, ideas and talents. We're looking for people who will take pride in delivering a service which changes people’s lives for the better.
We value work-life balance and offer flexibility in how you work. You’ll be encouraged to develop your skills in an organisation of more than 80,000 people, with many opportunities to develop, learn and progress in a fast-paced and exciting organisation.
There are opportunities to work across the length and breadth of the UK – with larger offices in many cities and local JobCentre Plus in most towns. For more information on working for DWP follow us on: Twitter, Facebook, LinkedIn, YouTube.
This is a fantastic opportunity to work in a department that touches the lives of citizens the length and breadth of the UK.
I’ve worked in DWP for 28 years. I’ve enjoyed a varied career. No two days are ever the same and I love working in such a big, supportive team.
We will encourage you to build a long and fulfilling career. We offer professional qualifications and NVQs to support your career aspirations. We have developed schemes that promote diversity as well as offering mentoring and coaching opportunities. We support our local communities by encouraging voluntary work through our Community 10,000 scheme.
We offer flexible working and family friendly policies such as maternity, adoption or shared parental leave of up to 26 weeks full pay followed by 13 weeks of statutory pay and a further 13 weeks unpaid, and paternity leave of two weeks full pay.
How can I add value?
In DWP, we recognise that our people are our biggest asset and strive to build an inclusive environment. Join our team where you can make a difference to the lives of so many whilst still being valued for being you.

Health and Wellbeing Commitment
