We are a team of 50,000 people responsible for delivering essential public services around the world in areas including defence, transport, justice, immigration, healthcare and citizen services.

We are innovators, committed to redesigning and improving public services for the benefit of everyone.

Here at Serco we have a fantastic opportunity for a Sales Director to join our Growth function in what is an extremely exciting time to join the business as we evolve from being a government outsourcing provider to a true impact partner to Public Sector organisations globally.

Serco is investing to create a best-in-class vocational skills business.

With new funding streams and an increased government commitment to adult learning, this is a key investment priority for Serco in the UK.

We aim to be not just best in class as a training provider but also as a key part of propositions from the wider Serco and in supporting the training providers in the wider skills sector.

Already a major player employment sector (such as delivering Project Restart), we are looking to grow and broaden our proposition with an initial focus on the public sector employers.

Alongside this, we have a full pipeline of deals to work on and will build a robust skills, employment and training delivery capability that will allow us to support major deals across the whole of Serco UK&E, from working for the MoD to the MoJ.
