<h2>An introduction to our Funding Assurance team</h2>
Education providers can obtain funding from central government (the Education and Skills Funding Agency (ESFA), which on the 01/04/2025 became part of the Department for Education (DfE)) to provide ‘post-16 delivery'.

The Funding Assurance team examine and monitor the data reported to the ESFA, now DfE and the GLA and MCA clients to identify possible errors in the funding that has been claimed by education providers for post-16 delivery. The team therefore helps to ensure that government funding is being used as intended . As part of this team, you will therefore have an important role in helping to ensure that any improper claims for funding can be recovered by the DfE, GLA and MCAs.
The role will principally involve working with the Funding Assurance Partner, Manager and other members of the close knit Funding Assurance team of&nbsp; specialist staff to help plan and deliver funding assurance reviews.

<li>Ensure any queries or requests from clients and the management team are dealt with promptly;</li>
<li>Produce high quality work in line with the Firm's policy and processes;</li>
<li>Take onboard feedback and demonstrate that you have learned from this in future work;</li>
<li>Start to take ownership for a whole review towards the end of the two years;</li>
<li>Form effective working relationships with other funding assurance specialists and the wider Public and Social Sector Risk Consulting team.</li>
</ul>
