Hello, with your qualifications in finance, it’s definitely worth keeping an eye on opportunities within HMRC and the wider Civil Service.
If you haven’t already, I’d suggest creating an account on Civil Service Jobs and setting up job alerts. You can search by organisation, location, grade and the type of work you’re interested in, and the alerts will help make sure you don’t miss suitable vacancies as they come up: https://www.civilservicejobs.service.gov.uk/csr/index.cgi
Also take a look at our careers site for information on our different professions. I’m not sure where you’re currently based, so I’d start by having a search and seeing what is available in your area, or more widely if you’re flexible on location.
One tip I would really recommend is trying to have a conversation with the vacancy holder before you submit your application. Their contact details will normally be included in the job advert. It’s a good opportunity to find out a little more about the role, what they’re looking for and to ask any questions you may have before applying.
