Job summary

The Covid-19 Inquiry

In December 2021 Baroness Heather Hallett, a retired Appeal Court judge, was appointed by the Prime Minister as Chair of the independent public inquiry into the Covid-19 pandemic.

The UK Covid-19 Inquiry was formally established with full powers under the Inquiries Act 2005 in June 2022. The Inquiry sits independently of the Government with the Cabinet Office acting as the sponsoring department.

Following an initial set up phase the Inquiry began hearing evidence in May 2023. Our team is working to examine the UKs response to and impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, and learn lessons for the future. The Inquirys work is guided by its Terms of Reference. We are a values driven organisation, and we aim to put our values of fairness, openness, compassion and inclusion at the heart of everything we do.

This is an exciting role, offering the opportunity to be part of an innovative team, and to help deliver a public inquiry that is unprecedented in terms of scope and depth.

About the team

The Finance & Commercial team is a small, dedicated group with two commercial and three finance professionals. As finance professionals, our core responsibilities include overseeing all financial information, ensuring the integrity of the Inquiry's budget, monitoring expenditure, and providing assurance to the accounting officer.

The Head of Finance & Commercial leads the professional team as part of the Programme, Operations & People Services (POPS) Directorate within the Inquiry. We are based across various UK sites, meeting at a central point for team days throughout the year.
