Job summary

Government Counter Fraud Profession (GCFP)

The Government Counter Fraud Profession comprises more than 9,000 members drawn from around 85 public bodies working to fight fraud across the public sector. The GCFP brings together individual and organisational learning from across the public sector, enabling us to take our next steps in the fight against the constant threat of fraud.

The establishment of the GCFP and continued investment in counter fraud resources demonstrates the Governments commitment to finding and dealing with fraud across the public sector.

The Profession sets out to tackle fraud head on by committing to invest in this group of highly skilled people, who are at the forefront of protecting public services and fighting economic crime. By providing the standards, guidance and tools for GCFP members to develop their knowledge, skills and experience, we will not only ensure public sector organisations benefit from a common understanding of the skills needed to counter fraud, but also recognise those professionals who lead the fight.

Through the empowerment of its members, throughout their careers, the community created around the GCFP will continue to grow and develop, to protect public services and fight economic crime.

Leading on bespoke projects that will support and enhance the GCFP including project management oversight of the GCFP initiatives within the team.
Be responsible for the management of GCFP membership and learning personal data, ensuring strict compliance with General Data Protection Regulations and the Data Protection legislation.
The role might also include line management of staff that may not be co-located.
Duties within the scope of the grade and within the limits of their skill, competence and training.
