DFID’s Finance and Control Department is seeking an enthusiastic and self-motivated individual to work in one of the most challenging and rewarding areas of our Corporate Performance Group.

In financial year 2011-12 DFID was responsible for £7.9 billion of UK public expenditure and, per the 2012 Business Plan, by financial year 2014-15 planned expenditure is expected to be £10.6 billion.

At the same time DFID will continue to implement its corporate services reform programme, which will help reduce administration costs by 33% over the Spending Review period to 2014-15.

As part of its corporate services reform DFID is committed to delivering on its finance improvement plan and in 2012-13 it will be conducting a review of its current financial operations with the view to further improving the relevance, timeliness and quality of both financial processes and financial management information.

Given this backdrop it is essential that our Financial Operations team has strong leadership and we continue to work on improving our financial capability as an organisation and successfully manage these challenges.
