Darlington, United Kingdom HM TREASURY Full time

If you’re interested in making a difference to people’s lives, the Treasury can offer you an exciting opportunity to influence decision making that affects the whole of the UK. Working at the heart of government, we collaborate across government to promote responsible public spending and drive strong and sustainable economic growth

About the Team

The Strategy, Planning and Budget Group (SPB) sits at the heart of the Treasury to develop overall strategy, co-ordinate the Chancellor’s annual Budget, and lead the Treasury’s engagement with the COVID-19 Public Inquiry; we’re also home to a large, flexible project team who work across the full range of ministerial priorities, support excellence in policy-making, and work to ensure the successful delivery of the Darlington Economic Campus.

Our new Head of Group Management, and our Group Management Support team (GMS) exist to provide our Directors and the wider senior leadership team, with excellent administrative and business support, and provide them with first class PA/business support.

We are currently recruiting two exciting roles to the GMS team:

Head of Group Management (this role - a new, senior role with a strategic focus to support Directors and the Group’s senior leadership team). GMS Manager (existing role currently vacant – see separate role profile) The Head of Group Management is an excellent opportunity for someone looking to stretch themselves in a high-profile, fast-paced environment right at the heart of the Treasury.

About the Job

With SPB growing significantly in recent years we are creating a new Head of Group Management, to help shape and deliver the group’s business planning, corporate and resourcing and workforce functions. The role holder will directly manage the GMS Manager, who in turn coordinates a team of four PAs responsible for delivering a range of professional support services to the Directors, Group Management Team (GMT) and wider SPB group.

Key responsibilities include:

Leading SPB Group Management Services (GMS) with overall responsibility for the service received by GMT and the wider Group. This includes providing excellent line management to the new GMS Manager and second signatory oversight for 4 Personal Assistants. Leading SPB’s approach and input to business-critical resource management and budgeting processes, to ensure SPB’s budget and headcount aligns with its plans and activities, the government’s priorities, and the Treasury’s organisational objectives - including the continued success of the Darlington Economic Campus. You’ll take the lead in developing and managing, effectively, the group’s non-pay budget. Managing and advising the senior leadership team on our strategy towards, and involvement in, centrally run recruitment campaigns, including the Treasury’s graduate development programme and Civil Service fast stream.  You’ll also have oversight of our workforce planning, ensuring we manage our people resource within overall budget. Working with Finance and Corporate Centre colleagues on the monitoring of in-year budgets, including training, travel, and subsistence, to ensure that the group’s budget is deployed optimally and in line with the best financial management practice. Leading a detailed assessment of the Group management support that will be needed by SPB over the next 3-4 years, how it should evolve, and how it can best be provided. This will include establishing a new service level agreement in consultation with the GMT and clarifying individual roles and objectives. Participating in weekly meetings of the senior leadership team, and support its effective operation by developing and maintaining the forward agenda for weekly meetings and work programme, so that the GMT makes informed decisions at appropriate times during the reporting year and has effective oversight over group operational and strategic delivery activities. Supporting the senior leadership team to deliver on their corporate objectives, by acting as a key point of contact in SPB for corporate initiatives. You’ll also be helping to track corporate responsibilities and commitments, and supporting the GMT to promote and facilitate engagement inclusively.
