Inspector

About the role

Are you ready to use your investigative skills to protect public funds and help ensure support reaches those who need it most?

Join the Social Security Division as an Inspector and take on a varied and rewarding role at the heart of compliance and fraud investigation. You'll gather and assess evidence, conduct enquiries, interview witnesses and claimants, and build robust cases that support informed decision-making. Every investigation is different, requiring professionalism, sound judgement and the confidence to engage with people in a wide range of circumstances.

Working closely with colleagues across Government and external partners, you'll play an important role in identifying and preventing benefit fraud while helping to maintain the integrity of the Island's social security system. This is an opportunity to apply your investigative experience in a role that combines analytical thinking, problem-solving and direct engagement with the public, while continuing to develop your skills within a supportive team environment.
