The Government Actuary's Department (GAD) is a non-ministerial government department that provides actuarial advice to other government departments and organisations in the public sector in the UK and around the world. Our mission is to support effective decision-making and robust reporting within government as the first-choice provider of actuarial and specialist analysis, advice and assurance.
The finance team within GAD is small, but it has a broad and varied remit. The candidate will have the opportunity to be involved in a broad range of activities in a commercial organisation operating within government. This is an exciting time to join the organisation. We are setting out our strategy over the next five years, articulating our ambition and goals to continue to support the government and wider public sector. We are also planning our transition to a new finance system, which will not only bring benefits to the team, but impact the entire organisation, supporting decision making and transform the way we work.
You will have the opportunity to use your existing finance skills and develop wider knowledge of GAD financial accounting and reporting, whilst gaining an insight into how our work supports the wider public sector. A key requirement of the role is a flexible approach, with an ability to adapt quickly to change and to work with colleagues across the wider team.
