If so, we have some great jobs on offer in London and Newcastle. We scrutinise public spending for Parliament, helping it to hold government to account for how it spends taxpayers’ money and to improve important public services. Each year we produce around 65 value-for-money reports as well as other high-profile work, primarily for Parliament. Our work ranges across the entire public sector, from health and education to transport and international development. It often hits the headlines and always gets the attention of government.
