Are you looking for a new opportunity? How do you feel about working in Policy?

At HM Treasury, we foster a team-oriented and welcoming work environment where your input is highly regarded. You will tackle ambitious projects that leave a lasting imprint on the nation's economy. We are dedicated to supporting your professional development and offer continuous learning opportunities. Your work will play a pivotal role in shaping the future of the UK's economic policies

About the Team

You will be working in the Workforce Pay and Pensions team which sits at the heart of the Public Spending Group. This is a high-profile and rewarding place to work where you will be helping the Chancellor decide what to spend .2trillion a year on and ensure government delivers value for money for the taxpayer. You will be part of a team responsible for reporting to Parliament and the public on how taxpayers’ money is spent.

About the Job

Public service pensions form a significant share of public spending, with liabilities of £1 tn and over 0bn spent on pensions and lump sums annually. They are also a major part of public sector remuneration, providing members with a guaranteed, price-protected income in retirement that is fully backed by the Exchequer.

In this role, you will:

  • Establish yourself as a centre of expertise in a complex and technical policy area, building an understanding of the public service pensions system and how it interacts with public spending, fiscal flows and wider public sector remuneration policy.
  • Develop strategic advice on public service pensions policy, clearly communicating the risks and trade-offs of policy issues to senior managers and Ministers.
  • Engage across Whitehall and devolved administrations to build and maintain strong relationships with a network of departmental pension leads.
  • Support the government’s defence of legal cases in a highly litigious policy area, by providing your expertise to workforce departments and working closely with the Government Legal Department.

About You

We're looking for people who have the right set of skills for the role, who demonstrate the values of our organisation and who are motivated to come and work with us. If you can build relationships with a range of people, inform decision making by reviewing data and see the impacts of your work in the wider policy context - we want to hear from you.

Some of the Benefits our people love!

  • 25 days annual leave (rising to 30 after 5 years), plus 8 public holidays and the King’s birthday (unless you have a legacy arrangement as an existing Civil Servant). Additionally, we operate flexitime systems, allowing employees to take up to an additional 2 days off each month
  • Flexible working patterns (part-time, job-share, condensed hours)
  • Generous parental and adoption leave packages
  • Access to a generous Defined Benefit pension scheme with employer contributions of 27%
  • Access to a cycle-to-work salary sacrifice scheme and season ticket advances
  • A range of active staff networks, based around interests (e.g. analysts, music society, sports and social club) and diversity
