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.

**Job description**:
**Financial Services Group**

The Financial Services Group advises the government on how to promote a stable and efficient financial services sector, to deliver excellent outcomes for consumers and business, enhance the UK’s position as a global hub for financial services and support economic growth across the country.

The financial services sector is important to the UK economy - providing significant numbers of jobs and making a large contribution to the UK’s economic output. It also provides essential services to individuals - for example, helping them to purchase goods with ease, buy their first home, and plan for their retirement. During the COVID pandemic, it played a critical role in supporting individuals and businesses - for example, in providing payment holidays for individuals and businesses affected by the pandemic and working with the government to deliver Bounce Back Loans.

We ensure that financial services businesses such as banks, investment firms, financial advisors and insurers are well-regulated. Ensuring firms treat customers fairly, customers have access to a range of financial services as a result of competition in the market, and there are appropriate remedies in place when things go wrong.

We work on a significant international agenda which includes promoting openness and trading links between the UK and countries all around the world, including through Free Trade Agreements and other international dialogues and negotiations. To do this we work closely with colleagues in offices overseas from the Foreign Commonwealth & Development Office and the Department for International Trade.

**Securities and Markets team**

The SAM team develops the Treasury’s policy on matters relating to international financial markets. The scope of the team’s work is wide, ranging from formulating the laws and regulations which govern the behaviour of traders, to defining the regulatory framework for UK infrastructure firms, including setting conditions for FinTech start-up firms to flourish.

One of the team’s most immediate objectives is to formulate the Treasury’s position on the future of the UK’s wholesale financial services regulations now that the UK has left the European Union. This involves scoping out potential improvements to the rules that the UK has inherited from the EU and identifying the opportunities and impacts of different options.

The team is responsible for domestic legislation on wholesale markets and market infrastructure, and has an ongoing legislative agenda. As part of that we monitor policy and legislation in other jurisdictions, in particular the European Union, as well as others.

The team works closely with colleagues in the UK Mission to the European Union (UKMis), the Bank of England and the FCA, and routinely engages with the financial services
