Government policy
Teachers, educationalists and others are being sought by the Department for Education (DfE) as part of its policy fellowships initiative.

The fellowship scheme is aimed at bringing in outside experts to help influence and steer DfE policy decisions and “to expose the whole department to new ways of thinking and insights”.

The successful applicants will work on ”specific policy challenges and share skills and experience across the department”, according to the DfE.

This will be the second cohort of policy fellows after seven individuals were recruited last year. The DfE is seeking applications from people who can offer some of the following:

An innovative approach to policy development or implementation.

Strong analytical skills and experience applying them to complex social challenges.

Practical experience of reforming education or children’s services in the UK or abroad.
