We are looking for candidates who have personal credibility, integrity, business acumen and high levels of numeracy, together with the well-developed interpersonal skills, to manage and influence others, build relationships and deliver well-articulated judgements in the supervision of insurance firms.

The FSA is an independent body that regulates the financial services industry in the UK. We have been given a wide range of rule-making, investigatory and enforcement powers in order to fulfil our statutory objectives.

The FSA is currently reorganising into two new authorities, the Prudential Regulatory Authority (PRA) that will be part of the Bank of England, and a new Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). While the regulatory framework is changing, our need for high calibre individuals is not. The two organisations will take forward the FSA's philosophy of outcomes-based regulation, intensive supervision and credible deterrence.
