**Job description**:
**About the Group**

**Personal Tax, Welfare and Pensions**

We work to create a tax and welfare system which supports the government’s goals of deficit reduction, economic growth, and fairness. In doing so, we look after high profile areas including personal taxes, labour markets, welfare, tax administration, pensions, and savings. We also coordinate spending controls for both HM Revenue & Customs and the Department for Work and Pensions. The Group also has a wider role to assess the overall impact of changes made to taxes and benefit on households across the UK.

Our work means we are often at the centre of ministers’ decision making, and we play an important part in the Budget and the Spending Review. Our group works closely with colleagues at HMRC, DWP, and the Prime Minister’s office, and with a wide variety of external stakeholders.

**About the Team**

**Tax Administration, Spending and Reform**

The Tax Administration, Spending and Reform (TASR) team is an outstanding, friendly and diverse team of around 20 people based across the London and Darlington offices. We are the Treasury team responsible for supporting HMRC to play its critical role in delivering Government priorities - from raising tax revenue to fund public services, to simplifying the tax system, and tackling tax avoidance and evasion.

TASR’s work is of fundamental importance to the Treasury, the Chancellor, and wider government. We work closely with a wide range of HMRC and HM Treasury teams to deliver tax policy, and we also act as the spending team for HMRC, ensuring that HMRC spending is sustainable and meets the government’s wider objectives.

**Key Accountabilities**

Government policies impact on people’s everyday lives - whether it is how we provide support to households, collect tax revenue, or fund public services.

Great policy making is about understanding what needs to change, what problems need to be solved, and supporting ministers to arrive at a solution. You will need to demonstrate a range of skills, including strong problem-solving skills, the ability to clearly explain your thinking both in writing and in person, and the drive to work with others to overcome challenges.

You don’t need to be a policy professional or have any specific qualifications or experiences to work as a Policy Adviser at HM Treasury. We are looking for people who have the right set of skills for the role, demonstrate our values, and are motivated to come and work with us at the heart of government.

This is an exciting and stretching role within TASR’s Policy Unit. The postholder will work across a range
