2 weeks ago


Durham, United Kingdom HM TREASURY-1 Full time

Do you have experience in working in a pay or reward function, either with operational service delivery or developing pay and reward strategies ? If so, we’d love to hear from you  

About the Team

Our People and Capability Team are a diverse team of HR professionals who provide critical support to the department across a number of areas. We provide expert advice to enable the department to achieve its wider aims, delivering everything from day-to-day support to transformational change. We work closely with senior leaders to make sure that our work genuinely supports and makes valuable contributions to the organisation.

You would be part of a friendly Pay and Reward team who are responsible for both delegated and SCS (Senior Civil Servant) pay processes and a range of HMT reward policies. We handle complex casework and contract manage the employee benefits provider. We sit in the Resourcing and Reward Branch and work alongside other HR teams such as Casework & Policy, Talent & Workforce Planning, and Learning & Development to provide a HR service to the Department.

About the Job

In this role, you will be responsible for:

  • Supporting the annual pay and reward initiatives, including the implementation of the pay award for delegated and SCS staff.
  • Develop and maintain new and existing pay and reward policy to complement strategic departmental objectives, such as around allowances, promotion and appointments.
  • Managing critical pay datasets to influence and inform strategic reward decisions.
  • Build and manage relationships with cross departmental and other government department colleagues to bring in insight and share expertise for pay and reward project implementation.
  • Act as an escalation point for resolving complex casework queries, ensuring our approach is evidence based and consistent with policy and best practice. 

For a more detailed list please review the advert on Civil Service Jobs

About You

Our Pay and Reward function provides the department with expert guidance, from leading the strategic development of our reward strategy to resolving complex pay casework. Data is at the heart of everything that we deliver, whether that is providing robust and reliable evidence for strategic decision making, monitoring the impacts of our approaches, or identifying a solution for casework.

You will work closely with the Head of Pay Delivering and Implementation to develop the departments reward strategy, supporting the delivery of annual pay cycles and leading reward projects across the department. Does this sound like you?  

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
  • 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 28%
