About UKSBS & Your Opportunity: UKSBS is a public sector shared service centre providing high quality HR, Payroll, Finance, Procurement and IT services and expertise to our partners. We are proud of the part we play in enabling our partners to achieve the best outcomes for the British people and the UK economy. We are at an exciting point as a business and are currently going through transformation ahead of company growth to expand our client base and install new systems. A key aspect of this transformation is the UKSBS Matrix Programme. This major component of the Government’s Shared Services Strategy aims to provide modern, cost-effective, and scalable business services to nine government departments. You will play a vital role in running these new services as they go live and mature, supporting the delivery of a modern SaaS ERP platform and the processes that underpin it. This is an exciting opportunity to be part of something long-term and transformative, ensuring the service continues to evolve, improve and deliver real value to our clients and customers. Success will rely on curiosity, collaboration and a commitment to excellence. We will support you to develop your skills, grow your expertise and make a lasting impact as part of a service that is designed to endure and continually improve.

Life at UKSBS: We value our employees and recognise the importance of ongoing professional development, supporting you to achieve your goals whether you’re starting out or building on existing experience. Our in-house expertise is vast, whether you’re interested in learning more about a particular type of software, you need to work on your presentation skills, or you want to develop your ability to influence and negotiate skills, we will support you. We work a mixture of full and part-time hours across a 37-hour week (full time), with start times varying between 8.00 and 9.30am. Our hybrid working model offers flexibility, balancing time spent working from home with time in the office for collaboration, training and team connection. While most colleagues work remotely for much of the week, we generally expect everyone to spend 20% of their time in their office location. This can vary depending on business needs, and there may be times when we ask you to be on-site more frequently to support key activities or team priorities. Our team is made up of individuals with various levels of experience and from different working backgrounds. We have offices based in Swindon, Newport and Stockton-on-Tees and you can choose to work from the most suitable location for you. We don’t expect you to know all the answers straight away, we are always on hand to help support you and share our knowledge. We provide full training for all our new joiners which helps you get a good overview of what we deliver, our processes and how to use our systems. This training typically takes place on-site in your first few weeks.

UKSBS does not hold a Home Office Sponsor Licence under the UK Immigration System, therefore candidates are required to have eligibility to live and work in the UK prior to applying. We look forward to hearing from you. We are UKSBS. We are creating a place where people love to work, a culture where we lead, we change, we deliver and we empower our people to be curious, take action and add value.
