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.

Our work ranges from protecting customers through the regulation of the financial sector, helping to reduce carbon emissions and creating a greener economy, to promoting British trade around the world and supporting people across the country on jobs, growth and more.
- and late-career changers with transferrable skills, people from all backgrounds and circumstances regardless of disability, gender, age ethnicity, LGBT+ identity and socio-economic status.

We are part of the Darlington Economic Campus, a pioneering new cross-government hub which brings people together to play an active role in the most important issues of the day whilst working closer to the communities we serve. The campus provides the opportunity for people from all over the UK to help shape the future of the country, and our flexible working practices ensure you can collaborate effectively with our partners.

**Job description**:
**About the Group - Personal Tax, Welfare and Pensions**

We work to build a tax and welfare system that supports the government’s goals of fiscal sustainability, economic growth, and fairness. We look after high-profile areas including personal taxes, labour markets, welfare, tax administration, pensions, tax avoidance, and savings. We also coordinate spending controls for HM Revenue & Customs, Department for Work and Pensions. The Group is responsible for over £400bn in tax receipts and £300bn in welfare spending, impacting the lives of millions of citizens across the UK.

Our work means that we are often at the centre of ministers’ decision making, and we play a significant part in the Budget and the Spending Review. We work closely with HMRC, DWP and Number 10, and with a wide variety of external stakeholders.

PTWP is a friendly, diverse, and inclusive Group, with a wide range of backgrounds and specialisms. We have an active ‘Wellbeing Plan’ focussed on learning and belonging.

**About the Team - Pensions and Savings Team (PST)**

The Pensions and Savings team are responsible for policy that supports people to build savings and pensions throughout their working life and for the state pension and connected benefits paid to people once they retire.

The team is responsible for significant annual tax reliefs (totalling nearly £70bn) and AME expenditure (exceeding £120bn). To deliver our policies, we work closely with other teams within HM Treasury and also with other departments, particularly DWP and HMRC. These are exciting policies that are meaningful across the population. The size and influence of these policies means that they are always of interest to ministers.

We are a small and friendly team. We play an active role in making sure that PTWP has an inclusive, positive working environment. We are committed to ensuring a good work-life balance and currently have people with a variety of working patterns, including job shares and part-time roles.

**About the Role**

We are looking for a Policy Advisor to join us in the DC pensions branch of PST. It's an exciting time to join In the last year, this branch has delivered major reforms to the way we tax pension contributions, including raising the Annual Allowance and starting the process of abolishing the Lifetime Allowance. We have also been a major part of the Mansion House reforms announced earlier this summer, which aim to improve the ways in which pension funds invest, both for improved saver outcomes and also the wider economy.

We are looking for a new person to take on a cross-cutting and dynamic role that provides the opportunity to gain exposure to policy issues across HM Treasury and develop core policy-making skills. Key accountabilities for the role will evolve over time, but are likely to include:

- Advising HM Treasury ministers on policy changes related to the **taxation of pensions**, including pensions tax relief
