The Office for Students (OfS) is the new independent regulator for higher education in England. We were created in 2018 to ensure that all students, whatever their background, have a fulfilling experience of higher education that enriches their lives and careers.

We see diversity as key. Having a breadth of cultures and heritages in our business brings about an inspiring and inclusive environment - so we warmly welcome talent from all backgrounds. We`re also very proud to be a Disability Confident employer, meaning we`ll provide a fully accessible recruitment process for qualifying disabled applicants. 

With the world becoming ever more technology driven we`re making sure we keep ahead of the curve. Information Technology is fundamental to the OfS in being able to carry out our role as a regulator effectively. We have just made a major investment in new cloud based technology that underlines this commitment. Our IT team is at the forefront of tech development - remaining fresh and contemporary to ensure we embrace the direction of our industry. Our commitment and enthusiasm for moving forward with our tech means that opportunity for our people to succeed is truly great, with a wonderful work-life balance and vibrant office atmosphere to top it all off. 

We`re happy to receive applications for full time, part-time, job share or secondment opportunities.

The role of the `IT Solutions Architect` is to be responsible for the overarching technical and data architecture and design principles of the IT service delivery model through the integration of the underlying components including cloud based services to ensure the overall integrity, confidentiality and availability of the service and data. The role requires engagement with internal and external stakeholders to understand business directions and technology and security specialists to design specific solutions.  If you have a passion for IT technology with technical depth but ability to see the big picture and operate at a strategic level, and excellent communication skills that underpin working with a variety of stakeholders, we`d be keen to meet you. 

Our IT department is dynamic. It`s fast-paced, busy and consistently challenging. It`s a friendly and supportive place to gain great experience quickly and personally develop in a customer-focused space - we are not simply just a support team, we are a key partner in the organisation. So, if you`re looking for an exciting role in an exciting, friendly place, then feel free to apply and tell us just why we should work together. 

As well as an exciting opportunity to be part of something new, we provide our staff with a comprehensive staff development programme, 25 days` annual leave, and the opportunity to join a valuable salary based Civil Service pension scheme.
