Darlington, United Kingdom HM TREASURY-1 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 Public Services Group is at the heart of Treasury’s work to secure sustainable public finances and drive economic growth. We manage public spending of more than £250bn. across key public services and departments, including health, education, the criminal justice system, local government, housing, defence and the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.

We are responsible for Treasury’s oversight of around £200 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 manage public spending and collaborate with teams across HM Treasury and other Government departments. NHS pay costs over £100 billion annually, making up a significant portion of NHS budgets. Alongside this, we work closely with the Department for Health and Social Care in considering NHS workforce needs.

Key accountabilities for the role will likely focus on matters relating to NHS workforce funding but will be tailored to the experience and interests of the successful applicant and needs of the team.

These accountabilities could include:

  • Ensuring the Treasury strategy for NHS aligns with the broader public sector pay strategy 
  • Support on NHS pension policy
  • Work flexibly on other priority policy areas as needed

About You

You will have the ability to draw out key messages from complex information and make recommendations to others. You’ll be able to understand technical concepts and communicate complex information to non-expert audiences. Lastly, you will have the ability to manage competing priorities and meet immediate deadlines while progressing longer-term pieces of work.

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
