Policy Adviser – NHS Pay
2 months ago
About the Team
We are responsible for Treasury's oversight of over £190 billion of government spending in health and adult social care. Accounting for over a quarter of all day-to-day public spending We work collaboratively with the Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC) and its Arm's Length Bodies (including the NHS), No10 and the Cabinet Office, and external partners including NHS leaders and Local Authorities. Not only do we set budgets and monitor performance, we also look to deliver real value to the public and drive forward a long-term vision to make health and care services productive and sustainable into the future.
About the Job
This is a stretching portfolio with significant senior partner engagement, as well as the opportunity to brief and advise Ministers on a range of high-profile and complex policy issues. It is a cross-cutting and dynamic role that offers the opportunity to gain exposure to policy issues across HM Treasury, develop an understanding of how we handle public spending and collaborate with teams across HM Treasury and other Government departments. NHS pay costs over £70 billion annually, making up around 45% of NHS budgets.
Key accountabilities for the role will likely focus on matters relating to NHS workforce funding. These accountabilities could include:
Ensuring the Treasury strategy for NHS aligns with the broader public sector pay strategy. This involves owning the input to NHS pay rounds, which set pay for the 1.4m NHS workers. Forging positive relationships with colleagues in the Treasury, DHSC and No10. You will lead on all health aspects of the evidence to the pay review bodies, providing advice to Ministers and feeding into the broader strategy and advice. You will also be responsible for monitoring and advising on the response to industrial action and working with DHSC and No10 to mitigate its impact on the NHS. As part of this, you will have ownership for the estimations for pay and industrial action costs in changing circumstances.
Support on NHS pension policy. You will work closely with DHSC and others across Government, including the Government Actuary's Department, and feed into broader Treasury public sector pension strategy. You will analyse data and develop expertise on the impact of pension changes on the NHS workforce - including on recruitment and retention - to provide evidence-based briefing and advice when needed.
Work flexibly on other priority policy areas as needed. There is scope to lead on other priority NHS policy issues and opportunities within both the branch and broader team.
About You
You will play an integral role in the team responsible for setting the Treasury's overall approach and strategy for NHS pay, including leading the pay round process. You would be joining the team at an exceptionally exciting time, given ongoing industrial action and the wider economic context. You will also be responsible for NHS workforce approvals, including pay and severance cases, and measures at fiscal events.
You don't need to be a policy professional or have any specific qualifications to succeed in the role, and we encourage applications from all backgrounds. We are looking for a candidate who is confident in handling data, working with Microsoft Excel and who is able to draw evidenced conclusions from the data that we work with. The successful candidate will also be able to bring passion and motivation to the role, helping to build a positive team dynamic.
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 regardless of disability, ethnicity, LGBT+ identity and socio-economic status.
