The role and our team

The Net Zero Buildings Domestic Directorate plays a vital role in decarbonising the UK’s homes and helping to reach our net zero ambitions. Over the next three years, the team will be responsible for delivering £2.5bn of ‘Help to Heat’ investment in energy efficiency improvements, through major capital schemes such as the Home Upgrade Grant and Social Housing Decarbonisation Fund, as well as through a mix of regulatory and enabling measures, such as setting minimum energy efficiency standards for domestic buildings, providing consumer advice and information services (digital and in person), and green finance.

The Directorate was created in 2022 following the restructure of the former Energy Efficiency and Local Directorate. Our ethos is to deliver our policy, regulations and capital schemes; demonstrate to our internal and external stakeholders what we do and the difference it makes; and to collaborate with colleagues across our directorate, our group, and beyond. The Directorate is one of three key pillars of the Net Zero Buildings Portfolio, alongside the Clean Heat and Portfolio and Affordability directorates, and it sits within the wider Net Zero Buildings and Industry Group.

We are a new counter-fraud team in the Net Zero Buildings Domestic Directorate established to provide assurance to the Senior Responsible Owner and support policy and delivery colleagues to better identify and manage their fraud risks.

This post focusses on delivery of counter fraud assurance across our delivery programmes and the development and maintenance of counter fraud standards and tools. We are looking for someone who can help build an innovative approach to managing fraud risk that enables the programmes to achieve the best possible policy outcomes for the investment.

Experience of counter fraud methodologies is highly desirable, but not essential and we encourage applications from people with transferable skills and experience from other relevant fields.

Activities across the team could include:

• Providing practical assistance with fraud risk assessments, implementing fraud management plans, or conducting assurance reviews;
• Developing common standards and tool
• Facilitating access to common services such as data sources, red teaming, debt recovery or prosecutions; or
• Engaging with the BEIS central counter fraud team and the wider Government Counter Fraud Function to draw on and contribute to the development of best practice.

There will be a strong emphasis on continual professional development within the team. We will encourage and support you to build on your skills and experience to develop as a counter fraud professional. We strongly support our people’s career development and offer leadership development opportunities, as well as mentoring programmes, networking and peer-to peer learning. Our aim is for the fraud management approach in NZBI to be seen as an exemplar across BEIS and wider Government.

You will be entitled to the benefits of working for the civil service including flexible working and the option to join the civil service pension scheme. Along with 25 days annual leave, growing by 1 day for each year of service up to 30 days leave entitlement.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We value diversity and promote equality of opportunity, to enable us to reflect the communities that we serve. We do not tolerate any form of discrimination and do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, colour, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status or disability status. We pride ourselves on being an open and encouraging workplace. We will ensure that individuals with disabilities are provided with reasonable adjustments, including accommodation, to enable them to participate in the job application process, to perform crucial job functions, and to receive other benefits and privileges of employment.
