DEFRA is the UK government department responsible for safeguarding our natural environment, supporting our world-leading food and farming industry, and sustaining a thriving rural economy. Our broad remit means we play a major role in people's day-to-day life, from the food we eat, and the air we breathe, to the water we drink.

Defra Group Finance have a number of roles in the Management and Financial Accounts teams.

Management Accounting roles provide high quality, accurate and robust financial management and insight. Through analysing data and applying value added skills to tell the story of the financial position, we help the board, corporate leaders and budget managers to make well-informed business decisions.

Financial Accounting roles will be more closely involved in the production of the Annual Report and Accounts (ARA). They will support year-end and interim audit work, ensuring key deadlines are met and providing evidence and technical analysis to explain transactions.

Closing date: 9 December 2021.
