Job description

DWP. Digital with Purpose.

There’s never been a better time to join DWP Digital if you’re inspired by the opportunity to re-imagine our country’s future using data, design and technology.

DWP offers uniquely challenging and fulfilling career opportunities for leaders interested in making a genuine difference to society on a massive scale. We’re larger than most organisations, with 85,000 colleagues in 800 locations. We pay £170 billion in pensions and benefits every year, and look after over £1.7 trillion of pensions assets.

But more than our scale, it’s our purpose that sets us apart. Our work enables people on benefits to find work and earn more, supports those who are unable to work because of health or disability, supports children, and helps us plan for the future.

DWP Digital is unlocking the potential of latest technologies and ways of working to transform how DWP deliver for our users. We want to make it quicker, easier and less costly for DWP’s customers to get the support they need. We aspire to be the best at what we do.

It’s this sense of purpose which has attracted thousands of talent technicians and experts to DWP Digital. We hope you’ll join them.

Duties. Work. Projects.

We are working at the cutting edge of technology in UK government – no-one else is doing what we’re doing, at this scale in this unique context.

To date, DWP’s IAG have developed and deployed over 47 automations processing over 8m transactions – using a mix of technologies including Robotics Process Automation, Computer Vision, OCR, Natural Language Processing and Deep Learning.

Working closely with DWP business areas and stakeholders, our IAG teams design, build, deploy and run automations using our cloud platform and liquid infrastructure.

What skills, knowledge and experience will you need?

Details. Wages. Perks.
