The department is working on an exciting reform programme and we want the best people to help us achieve it. We are establishing a Department for Education fellowship to widen our pool of people who contribute to making and delivering government policy.

We are looking for exceptional individuals who are interested in a secondment opportunity at the heart of the department. Fellows will use their experience to support high-quality policymaking in the department, providing hands-on advice to policy teams, and working closely with ministers.

We would like to hear from you if you can offer:

• strong analytical skills and experience applying them to complex social challenges
• an innovative approach to policy development or service delivery
• practical experience of reforming education or children’s services in the UK or abroad
• a successful track record of leading organisational reform and engaging staff – in any sector

Roles

We have a range of roles suitable for where you are in your career. Your time as a fellow could range from spending a day a week in the department for 3 or 6 months to help us become a more data-driven organisation, through to a full-time secondment of up to 18 months to support us to maximise the impact of our resources on the front line.
