Who we are

The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is the biggest delivery department in Government. We lead the Government’s welfare, pension and child support reform agendas. We help people to find jobs and employers to fill vacancies. We make payments to jobseekers, pensioners, disabled people, parents and carers.

Most people will usually come into contact with the Department through one of our businesses:

• Jobcentre Plus
• Pensions Disability and Carers Service

• Our vision, aims and values
• The Civil Service Code (Civil Service website) sets out the duties and responsibilities of all civil servants, whatever their jobs.
