About the job

Job summary

The Fair Work Agency (FWA) launched in April 2026 with a clear and ambitious mission: to make work fairer for everyone. We bring together key powers to protect workers, support responsible businesses, and take decisive action against exploitation. Today, we regulate employment agencies, license gangmasters in the agricultural and horticultural sectors, tackle serious labour abuse and modern slavery, and enable enforcement of the National Minimum Wage.

But this is just the start.

With new powers under the Employment Rights Act 2025, we are expanding our role even further. We are building the capability to ensure workers receive what they are entitled to, from holiday pay to statutory sick pay, and strengthening the system so that rights are not just set out in law, but actively upheld in practice.

Our approach is bold and practical:

We empower workers, ensuring they understand their rights and can easily access support and raise concerns
We make it easier for businesses to comply, simplifying processes and helping responsible employers do the right thing
We take firm action against those who exploit workers and undercut fair competition

This is a unique opportunity to join an organisation at the very beginning of its journey. You will help shape how we operate, influence our culture, and play a direct role in improving outcomes for millions of workers and employers across the UK.

We are looking for people who are curious, collaborative and driven by making a real difference, people who want to build something that matters.

Lead the development of KIM practice across the organisation, promoting consistent approaches to storing, organising, retrieving, sharing and disposing of information in line with business need and statutory requirements.
Work with digital, operational and corporate teams to improve information structures, support effective use of systems such as Microsoft 365 and those that utilise artificial intelligence (AI) with robust governance, and embed good information management by design.
