Healey read for a BA in Modern History and English at Magdalen College, Oxford and an MSc in Social Policy from the London School of Economics. Having joined the civil service into the Prime Minister's Strategy Unit in the Cabinet Office,[2] she served in the Department for Education as the director for strategy and performance for a year from 2009,[3] and then as director for education funding 2010–2013, and then in the Department for Work and Pensions as director for private pensions for just under a year in 2013.[4][5]
