Supervision Manual and Risk Framework Lead

Requirements of the role

We have an opportunity for a Principal Supervision Manual and Risk Framework Lead to join our Supervision Team within the Delivery Directorate.

The Supervision Team at Ofwat is established to support evolution of our regulatory approach towards that envisaged by UK and Welsh governments for the new integrated regulator in England and the new economic regulator in Wales.

The Supervision Team:

• Leads policy thinking for Ofwat on what supervision will mean for water regulation.

• Leads engagement with Defra, Welsh Government, Environment Agency, Natural Resources Wales, Drinking Water Inspectorate, (what we call ’cross regulator working’), water companies and across Ofwat to support the government’s development of a supervisory model for the new integrated water regulator.

• Develops and implements appropriate aspects of a supervisory approach across Ofwat, to support enhancements to our existing regulatory approach and effective transition to the new regulator.

We have three opportunities for Principals to join our team and to lead key elements of the development and implementation of a supervision operating model across Ofwat, as well as leading policy input to wider work with Defra and the other water regulators in the design of a framework for the future regulator.
