Policy Adviser – Climate Strategy

1 month ago


Darlington, Darlington, United Kingdom HM TREASURY Full time

Are you looking for an exciting new opportunity to be at the heart of government policy making and ability to shape policy in these areas, in a supportive environment that encourages innovation, independent thinking, and a focus on delivering value for the UK taxpayer.? If so, we'd love to hear from you

About the Team

We are looking to recruit for a Policy Adviser – Climate Strategy which sits within the Enterprise and Growth Unit (EGU) of the Climate and Environment Team (CET). The Enterprise and Growth Unit (EGU) promotes sustainable economic growth and higher productivity for the UK. We provide analysis and advice on enterprise, innovation, private sector investment and a cost-effective transition to a low-carbon economy. The Enterprise and Growth Unit has a varied and exciting agenda, and we work closely with a wide variety of other teams across the Treasury.

The Climate and Environment Team (CET) acts as the focal point for HM Treasury's work on climate change, net zero and the natural environment. The team leads on embedding domestic climate risk, net zero and environmental policy considerations into the work of the department. We work with teams in tax, spending, economics, trade, fiscal, financial services and financial stability to use the range of levers which Treasury controls to ensure the government has affordable and economically efficient plans to achieve its legal commitments under the Climate Change Act 2008 and Environment Act 2021.

We advance Treasury interests across some of the biggest policy opportunities and challenges facing the UK including climate mitigation and adaptation, decarbonising heat and industry, water company regulation, waste sector reform, implementing England's agricultural transition plan and reforming our domestic environment policy – including through new statutory targets for the recovery of the natural world.

We are a flexible and friendly team, and our members have a range of working patterns.

About the Job

In this role, you will:

  1. Develop expertise in local net zero delivery and clean energy jobs policy areas
  2. Build and maintain constructive relationships
  3. Scrutinise spending proposals and monitoring the delivery of existing schemes to ensure policies are delivering as expected and responding proactively when required. This will involve making decisions using robust evidence, understanding the role of Government in the sector and advising seniors and ministers.
  4. Using critical thinking and analytical skills to ensure we have a clear strategy for this policy area, putting clear structures around analytical work, and using the right metrics to communicate complicated policy and its economic context.

    You don't need to be a policy professional, have any specific qualifications, or prior experience /knowledge of these policy areas to apply for this role. We are 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 on a range of issues that are key to the UK's economic prosperity and resilience.

    About You

    The successful candidate will have the ability to evaluate different and sometimes competing evidence sources, apply considered judgement to come to a conclusion. You will be able to build strong relationships with a wide network of partners in government, and use these relationships to deliver your objectives. Lastly, you'll be able to adapt your work to emerging issues or trends, and to ensure that it fits with the broader economic, political and social context.

    Some of the Benefits our people love
  5. 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%
