Competitive salary plus excellent benefits Simplyhealth Funding Services (SFS) sits at the heart of our ambition to make healthcare more affordable and accessible for everyone in the UK. SFS is responsible for the Group's financing strategy, operational delivery, and lender partnerships - enabling customers to fund the care they need, when they need it. As we expand our role in UK healthcare, the ability to offer simple, fair and compliant financial products is critical to our future. This role leads both the strategic direction of funding across the Group and the operational management of the SFS function which will include evolving our systems and processes, ready for the next phase of growth. As Head of Funding Services, you'll report to the Corporate Finance Director and take ownership of building a multi-lender, multi-product financing strategy that underpins our Group ambition. You will also oversee the SFS Operations team, ensuring robust regulatory compliance, streamlined onboarding of Appointed Representatives (ARs) and Introducer Appointed Representatives (IARs), and scalable operational processes capable of supporting new markets and increased volume. What you'll do In this role, you'll shape and lead the future of financing across Simplyhealth. You'll build and own an ambitious three-year growth model designed to transform Funding Services into a revenue stream for the Group, helping us unlock new ways for customers to access the care they need. You'll take the reins on our financing strategy - owning relationships with providers such as consumer lenders, building a multi-lender panel that strengthens resilience, boosts competitiveness, and opens the door to innovative funding structures. Your work will span forward flow arrangements, embedded finance opportunities, and evaluating potential partners or acquisitions that accelerate our ambitions. Alongside this, you'll play a leading role in designing, testing and scaling new credit propositions. Working closely with our Foundry team, you'll run test and learn pilots, refine propositions based on real world data, and prepare them for mass market launch. You'll bring a deep understanding of the UK credit landscape and emerging regulation to ensure our products are both compliant and commercially compelling. You'll also provide the leadership and oversight needed to strengthen the operational foundations of SFS. That includes guiding the SFS Operations team through a period of change, and ensuring we have the controls, processes and infrastructure needed to grow with confidence. From AR / IAR onboarding and due diligence to customer oversight and regulatory responsibilities such as Consumer Duty and financial promotions, you'll ensure our operations are robust, scalable and ready for the future.

The role As one of our Security Officers, you'll be the first point of contact for visitors and staff entering our buildings. Working in a close knit, supportive team, you'll anticipate and reduce security risks, making sure our building and everyone in it stays safe. In our Security Control Room, you and your colleagues will oversee access to the building, carry out physical searches, patrol the grounds (both on foot and in vehicles), and monitor CCTV. Whether you're responding to an alarm, giving first aid, or helping a visitor understand security procedures, you'll always follow our policies carefully and keep clear, accurate incident logs. In this role, your calm, friendly presence will be invaluable. Each day, you'll greet people from all walks of life, including government officials and colleagues from our partner agencies, and guide them through any security processes they need to know. As the first person they meet at GCHQ, you'll make a great first impression while completing the necessary checks and staying alert to anything unusual. You'll be joining a team that's as supportive as it is experienced. As you learn from your colleagues and develop your skills, you'll have plenty of opportunities to grow. With the chance to work with MI5 and MI6, as well as other security teams throughout GCHQ, this could be the beginning of an exciting career within the UK Intelligence Agencies. About you You're motivated, proactive, and quick to spot problems before they emerge. Your strong situational awareness means you're confident in responding to changing situations and making sound decisions under pressure. Along with your friendly manner and people skills, you're also someone who communicates clearly and enjoys working with others. You might be coming from a security or customer facing role, just starting your career, or simply looking for a fresh challenge. Whatever your background, you'll bring a can do attitude and a desire to contribute to vital work. To apply, you'll need: security or customer service experience, as you'll interact daily with visitors, colleagues and partner agencies an English Language GCSE at grade C/4 or above, or equivalent experience, which has developed your written and verbal communication skills a full driving licence, as you'll undertake both foot and vehicle patrols basic IT and Microsoft Office skills to support your incident logging the ability to reliably commute for your assigned shift times You don't need a high level of fitness for this role, but there are some physical aspects to be aware of. You'll need to be comfortable operating heavy doors, using stairs or lifts, and carrying out physical search and screening duties, which may include lifting or moving bags and equipment. Foot patrols will take you indoors and outdoors, sometimes over uneven ground and in all weather conditions. This is a role where you'll grow and develop over time. Ideally you will be someone looking for a career in security. You'll be expected to remain within the security team for 18 months, but during that period, you can apply for a promotion or explore other roles within the team, subject to readiness and your line manager's endorsement. Training and development From the moment you join us, you'll be trained on everything you need to know to be an effective Security Officer at GCHQ. This will include Security Industry Authority (SIA) certifications and emergency first aid, along with a 1-2 week induction with the security team prior to starting your shift pattern. You'll also be assigned a buddy on shift to support you as you get settled in. Rewards and benefits You'll receive a starting salary of £35,246, including shift allowances and other benefits including: 25 days' annual leave automatically rising to 30 days after 5 years' service, and an additional 10.5 days' public and privilege holidays opportunities to be recognised through our employee performance scheme an interest free season ticket loan (travel and parking) an excellent pension scheme a cycle to work scheme facilities such as a gym, restaurant, and on site coffee bars (at some locations) paid parental and adoption leave Equal opportunities At GCHQ diversity and inclusion are critical to our mission. To protect the UK, we need a truly diverse workforce that reflects the society we serve. This includes diversity in every sense of the word: those with different backgrounds, ages, ethnicities, gender identities, sexual orientations, ways of thinking and those with disabilities or neurodivergent conditions. We therefore welcome and encourage applications from everyone, including those from groups that are under represented in our workforce such as women, those from an ethnic minority background, people with disabilities and those from low socio economic backgrounds. GCHQ is proud to have achieved Leader status within the Department for Work and Pensions' Disability Confident scheme. This is aimed at encouraging employers to think differently about disability and take action to improve how they recruit, retain and develop disabled people. As a Disability Confident Leader, we aim to ensure that a fair and proportionate number of disabled applicants who best meet the essential minimum criteria for this position, will be offered an interview, if it is practical for us to do so. (This is known as the Offer of an Interview.) To secure an interview for this role, the minimum criteria (in order of application process) are: Meet the minimum pass mark in the organisational situational judgement test (OSJT) - assessed at the initial application stage Meet the minimum pass mark for the role specific situational judgement test (SJT) - assessed at the initial application stage In addition, we encourage you to review the Physical Requirements section of the role carefully and consider whether you can meet the expectations outlined. There is a wide range of extra support available throughout the recruitment process to enable you to do your best, see our website for information on reasonable adjustments we can offer. What to expect Our recruitment process is fair, transparent and based on merit. Here's a brief overview of each stage, in order: 1. Eligibility sift - you'll be asked a series of questions so we can determine your eligibility to apply. If you meet the criteria, you'll be directed to the next stage automatically where you will be asked a series of Organisational Situational Judgement Test (OSJT) questions. 2. Application Form and role specific Situational Judgement Test (SJT) - you'll be asked a series of role specific situational judgement test questions, as well as questions relating to this role. We will then sift based on your answers to the application form questions and the results of your SJT. 3. Virtual Interview - if you successfully pass the sift, you'll be offered a virtual interview. Please note, you must successfully pass each stage of the process to progress to the next. Your application may take around 6 to 9 months to process including vetting, so we advise you to continue any current employment until you have received your final job offer. This role requires the highest security clearance, known as Developed Vetting (DV). It's something everyone in the UK Intelligence Community undertakes. You can find out more about the vetting process. Please note we have a strict drugs policy, so once you start your application, you can't take any recreational drugs and you'll need to declare your previous drug usage at the relevant stage. Before you apply, we advise you to consider setting up a separate email address for your contact with us, to ensure your personal and application correspondence remain separate. Try to avoid having identifying features in your email address, such as your first and/or surname and date of birth. This is good practice and will help you to manage your application with us more securely. The role is based in Bude or Scarborough so you'll need to live within a commutable distance. Please consider any financial implications and practicalities before submitting an application, as we do not offer relocation costs. Please note, you should only launch your application from within the UK. If you are based overseas, you should wait until you visit the UK to launch an application. Applying from outside the UK will impact on our ability to progress your application. You should not discuss your application, other than with your partner or a close family member. . click apply for full job details
