Do you have experience in counter fraud or criminal investigations? Are you looking for an interesting and challenging role where you can work proactively and collaboratively and further develop your team working skills? If so, our Fraud Investigator role could be a great fit for you.
Everyone in Scotland should have the support they need to live their life, and we believe they should be able to get it when and where they need it. That's why Social Security Scotland is built around the people of Scotland.
However, fraud is a known risk to the benefits being devolved, so the agency has developed their response. While our strategy is to design out opportunities for fraud and error through preventative measures where possible, there remains the possibility that fraud will occur. To respond to this, Social Security Scotland's counter fraud service detects and investigates fraud, taking enforcement action where appropriate.
