Welcome from the Defra Group Chief Financial Officer - Iain King

Defra group Finance (DgF) is an innovative, award-winning team full of talented, professional people. We are passionate about delivering a high-quality finance service that meets the standards expected of us.

We care about how our work impacts our country and are motivated to help Government achieve the best possible value for the Taxpayers’ money.

We build strong and lasting relationships with our partners and work hand in hand with them to provide accurate financial information and advice to support informed decision-making.

We want to get better, keeping pace with broader changes to the way finance gets done across the globe. We want to be innovative and make better use of technology and data to provide a more effective and efficient finance service.

To help us continue to support the delivery of the Defra’s ambitious outcomes for the environment, we are recruiting for a range of exciting roles across the function.

We are looking for candidates with the right professionalism, skills, and drive to help us to run an efficient end to end finance function that both stewards our finances safely and accurately while providing valuable strategic insight.

We also care about how we work. We do our best to help people feel included. We encourage one another to find a healthy work/life balance and are always thinking how we can improve the wellbeing of our teams.

We set high standards for the work we do. We recognise the importance of learning and development to help meet these high standards. We encourage colleagues to take up training opportunities to help them build capability and to progress in their career. We offer other significant development opportunities such as support through CIMA qualifications with time off for study.

I am immensely proud of the work that Defra group Finance does and the positive impact we have. If you want to join an award-winning team and build a career in Government Finance, then I encourage you to look at the opportunities we have. We will help you realise your potential.
