4 weeks ago

Darlington, United Kingdom HM Treasury Full time

Are you looking for an exciting and meaningful role with significant exposure to seniors and special advisors across Whitehall? If so, we'd love to hear from you


About the team

The Workforce, Pay and Pensions team work closely with teams across Whitehall and HM Treasury to set, deliver and maintain Government’s overarching policy positions on public sector pay and pensions. Our work is of crucial importance to delivering high quality public services and ensuring best value for the taxpayer.

We have a strong focus on development opportunities alongside recognition and use of individual strengths. You will have the opportunity to work across a range of areas, with significant responsibility from day one. The team is fun, highly supportive, and we are committed to maintaining a healthy work life balance through flexible working patterns including home working, part-time working, condensed hours and flexi-leave.


About the role

We are looking for a Policy Adviser to join the pay side of the team, where you will have responsibility for leading and coordinating the Pay Review Body process which sets pay across c.2.5m frontline sector workers (e.g. doctors, nurses, teachers, the armed forces). You would be joining the team at an exceptionally interesting time given the wider pay-setting context.


Key accountabilities

Key accountabilities include:


  1. Leading advice on and delivery of the public sector pay round, which delivers pay awards for the main frontline workforces, including the NHS, police officers, teachers and armed forces.
  2. Managing industrial relations risk and monitoring key flashpoints across the breadth of the entire public sector.
  3. Leading on other high profile policy areas related to pay.
  4. Management of a student economist.


For a full description of the accountabilities, please follow the apply link.


About you

Our ideal candidate will be able to work calmly under pressure and will have experience of managing competing priorities while still delivering high quality work. You will be able to build positive working relationships with a range of colleagues and collaborators to bring about successful outcomes. Further, an understanding of data and an ability to identify trends to form conclusions is key, as is an understanding of the strategic drivers for your area, remaining alert to emerging issues and trends.


About us

HM Treasury is proud of a diverse and inclusive work environment, committed to fairness and the promotion of equality of opportunity for all. We know that having a range of experiences, ways of working and thinking makes us a stronger organisation, better at developing policy that is reflective of the communities we serve. We embrace different views and experiences and value the fresh perspective that people from a variety of circumstances bring to the work we do. We welcome applications from candidates who have not previously worked for the Civil Service, mid- and late-career changers with transferrable skills, people from all backgrounds and circumstances.


Some of the Benefits our people love  

  • 25 days annual leave (rising to 30 days 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 you to take up to an additional 2 days off each month.
  • Flexible working patterns (part-time, job-share, compressed hours). 
  • Generous parental leave and adoption leave packages. 
  • A Civil Service Pension which provides an attractive pension, benefits for dependants and average employer contributions of 27%
  • Access to a cycle-to-work salary sacrifice scheme and season ticket advances.
  • A Rental Deposit Advance Scheme to help meet the total costs of deposits for privately rented homes.
  • Access to HM Treasury’s benefits portal allowing you access to a range of discount codes for online shopping.
  • A range of active staff networks, based around interests (e.g. analysts, music society, sports and social club) and diversity
  • Access to a range of allowances if eligibility applies. These include profession related allowances.
