The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) supports parents who are unable to reach a private financial agreement by ensuring— and when necessary, enforcing— their legal responsibility to contribute to their child’s living costs. Our mission is simple: to get money to children, because it makes a real difference in their lives.
While we’ve made significant progress in transforming our service, we remain ambitious about what more we can achieve for the families who rely on us. CMS is a dynamic and rewarding place to work. Step into any of our service centres and you’ll find passionate, dedicated professionals committed to supporting our customers.
We are proud to foster an inclusive and diverse workforce where everyone can thrive. If you're looking to make a difference, this could be the career for you.
This is a fantastic opportunity to start or grow a fulfilling career in the Civil Service. We offer a flexible work-life balance, along with opportunities for growth, challenge, and personal development.
CMS is an amazing place to work. Walk into any one of our service centres and you will be overwhelmed by the passion and commitment that our people have for supporting our customers.
We are committed to ensuring that all colleagues that work out of our Service Centres are provided with an environment that allows them to flourish and be at their best.
The Child Maintenance Service employs around 5,000 colleagues who are dispersed across 8 UK Service Centre sites along with colleagues from other DWP Directorates. The Service Centre Support Team (SCST) Lead works collaboratively with teams across CMS and external partners to provide vital site-wide support services for all colleagues and Directorates in the Service Centre. The role ensures the workplace is safe, healthy, efficient, and well maintained, so all colleagues can focus on delivering a great service to customers. This is a fantastic opportunity to lead a small team, support senior leaders, and make sure our Service Centres run smoothly.
