**Job summary**:
**About HM Treasury**

If you’re interested in making a difference to people’s lives across the country, the Treasury is the department for you We sit at the centre of everything that the Government does and have provided advice on economic policy and decisions that affect the public finances throughout the country’s history. A Treasury career continues to offer an exciting opportunity to be part of the decision making that affects the whole of the UK.

Working at the heart of government, we collaborate with other departments to ensure public money is spent well and to drive strong and sustainable economic growth. Our work ranges from protecting customers through to the regulation of the financial sector, helping to reduce carbon emissions and creating a greener economy, supporting people across the country through the COVID 19 furlough scheme and Plan for Jobs as well as helping first time buyers buy their first home.
- 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.

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

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 that 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 - Personal Tax Team**

The Personal Tax team is a team of 25 people responsible for income tax, national insurance, inheritance tax and all other aspects of the personal tax system. With overall personal tax receipts totalling over £300bn, these issues are of fundamental fiscal and economic importance to the Treasury - and of critical political importance to the Chancellor and other Ministers. The team leads on personal tax announcements at fiscal events and is responsible for the government’s longer-term strategy on personal taxation and its links with other areas of the tax and welfare systems.

We are a collaborative and open team and engage in a number of cross-cutting projects with other teams across the department. We work with other teams in PTWP to determine the impacts of tax policy on the labour markets, or on the interaction of tax and welfare and pensions. We also work closely with other teams on tax avoidance and the wealthy. The team works in policy partnership with HMRC, as well as with Number 10, other government departments and a range of stakeholders outside of Government.

We are a friendly, inclusive and fun team, with a focus on corporate contribution and personal development. We support different working-patterns in the team.

**Key Accountabilities**

The Head of National Insurance role is one of four E2 roles in the Personal Tax team. The postholder oversees the National Insurance (NICs) branch. NICs are a major source of Government revenue, accounting for over £125bn a year of tax receipts. National Insurance underpins the contributory benefit system (including paying State Pension payments), and is linked to funding the NHS and the Apprenticeship levy. As such, this post is key to joining up our thinking about tax, spending and welfare, and the future of the contributory benefits system. This is also the only personal tax which is paid by both employee and employers, which makes it unique across the group and allows the postholder to work across a broad range of stakeholders.

All tax policy is delivered in partnership with HMRC; this post will need to work very closely with them as well as DWP and spending teams across HMT.
- Lead the NICs branch - the post holder will have management responsibility for a branch consisting of 1 Range E and 2 Range Ds (HEO/SEOs) and 1 Range C policy apprentice. The branch is split across the London and Darlington offices curren
