Sir Gavin Williamson has taken a job reportedly worth £50,000 a year as an adviser to a private education company – less than a year after leaving the role of education secretary.

Sir Gavin was Secretary of State for Education from July 2019 until last September. The new role will see him become a board member of the Regent Advisory Panel, part of the RTC Education company.

The company describes itself as an “education, real estate management and investment organisation that owns and manages independent schools, higher education colleges and an investment business”.

The former education minister will earn around £50,000 a year from the second job, according to The Guardian.
