What We Do & Why It Matters
Make a difference at national scale. Shape technology that helps millions.
At the Money and Pensions Service (MaPS), technology isn’t just about systems and code - it’s about people. Our Tech & Change Directorate delivers the digital services that help millions across the UK take control of their money, from the MoneyHelper website (22 million visits a year) to the upcoming government pension dashboard.
Our Purpose
Everything we do is tied to a single goal: improving the financial wellbeing of people across the UK. That might mean building new tools to help families budget, strengthening our platforms against cyber threats, or using data science to support vulnerable customers.
Life in Tech & Change: What It's Like to Work Here
People often expect a public body to be slow-moving. Tech & Change is different. We’re agile, collaborative, and purpose-driven - with the energy of a start-up but the focus on social good rather than profit.
- Challenging and rewarding: You’ll work with experts from across industries who are united by passion and purpose.
- Supportive culture: From assistive tech for dyslexia to employee recognition schemes, people here are looked after as individuals.
- Collaboration at the core: Our teams thrive when ideas are shared and problems are solved together.
How We Help You Grow
Your career won’t stand still here. We invest in professional development with:

Our People & How We Work Together
What surprises many new starters is how genuinely caring the culture is. You’ll feel welcome from day one - with a seamless onboarding process, colleagues who make time for you, and managers who support your growth.
We’re also committed to inclusion. Staff networks bring people together around shared experiences and interests - from wellbeing initiatives like the Men’s Health Network to professional networks like Women in Tech.
