The Department for Culture, Media and Sport (DCMS) plays a crucial role in supporting culture, the arts, media, sport, tourism, and civil society throughout England. We recognise the UK’s global leadership in these fields and the significant contributions these sectors make to our economy, quality of life, and international reputation.
As the government department responsible for these key sectors, DCMS is committed to growing the economy and enriching lives across the country. Our industries support over 3.8 million jobs, and our world-renowned exports, from the Premier League to British films, are in high demand internationally.
At DCMS, our work has a profound impact on daily life. We help fund local museums, galleries, cinemas, and theatres, build sports pitches and youth facilities, and support charities that make a real difference nationwide. These initiatives foster local pride, improve health and wellbeing, and enhance the quality of life.
Looking ahead, we have an ambitious agenda. This includes fostering the growth of the UK’s cultural and creative industries, investing in grassroots sports to boost participation, reforming football governance to prioritise fans, updating gambling laws, modernising the media and broadcast landscape, delivering the National Youth Guarantee for young people, and driving tourism. Through these efforts, DCMS continues to bring pride and joy to communities across the UK.
Our policy areas are among the most exciting, innovative and creative in government.

These amenities, combined with a workforce rich in diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences, contribute to a vibrant and inclusive office culture.
