**Job summary**:
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. It’s central government, made more accessible to you

**Job description**:
**About the group**

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**

The Welfare Spending and Reform team (WSR) is a friendly, inclusive and hard-working team of 17 people from a diverse range of backgrounds from both within and outside of government. We are responsible for the Treasury’s overall welfare spending and strategy, responsible for ensuring that spending is sustainable and meets the government’s wider objectives. We act as the spending team for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), which makes up more than 20% of all government expenditure, and lead on high-profile and complex policy and spending priorities for working age benefits, including tax credits, child benefit, disability benefits, Housing Benefit and Universal Credit. The team has also led on policies directly responding to the effects of Covid, including the £20 temporary uplift in Universal Credit, Test and Trace Support Payments and the Statutory Sick Pay Rebate. The team has an excellent team spirit and is committed to diversity, inclusion and person development.

**About the Job**
- ** Leading for the Treasury on options to reform the disability benefits system**, including working closely with DWP, the Cabinet Office and No10 to design policy that achieves HMT’s objectives, advising ministers and analysing evidence.
- Leading for the Treasury on employment policies to support people with long term sickness and disability into work. This includes working with analysts to understand the drivers of economic inactivity and working with DWP, DHSC and No10 to develop policies to support people into work. It also means supporting the successful delivery of major new employment programmes.
- Leading the Health and Disability branch, including providing outstanding line management to two Range D Policy Advisers (HEO/SEO). This means providing direction and support, ensuring the team has the capability and knowledge needed to deliver high-quality, evidence-based advice. You will be flexible enough to adapt your style, regularly reprioritise, and act on feedback to make sure your team delivers high quality work. You will be committed to the personal and professional development of your direct reports.
