Department for
Education

Whether you’re just starting out, or an experienced professional, we have what you are looking for. Jobs include administrators, policy advisers, digital, finance, commercial specialists, and many more.

We work to provide an education and children’s care system in which all children, young people and adults – no matter what their circumstances – have great options for high quality education and training at every stage of their lives.

We recognise the importance of a good work-life balance and offer flexible working options as default such as full-time, part-time or job-share. We have adopted a hybrid working model with the option of blending your work time between the workplace and home on an informal basis (subject to business need).                                                     

You’ll be able to shape your own learning and development with plenty of options available and get involved with work across government, as well as in your local community. You can use your paid volunteer days to take on projects that matter to you.                                             

Our culture and ways of working help us to be at our best, where we: put children and learners first; are data, expertise and evidence-driven; empower ourselves and others; and as a result, deliver brilliant (and well-joined up) results, internal and with the rest of the education and care system.
