**Job description**:
**Education and Skills Team**

The Education and Skills team is a high profile, friendly and supportive team with oversight of a range of areas - ranging from children’s social care and childcare through to schools, further education, and higher education.

Our core role as a spending team is to advise Treasury ministers on education spending proposals, help the Department for Education to live within their budget, and work with DfE and other parts of the Treasury to ensure that we have an education and skills system which meets the needs of the future economy.

You lead a branch of 8 officials who have direct responsibility for managing and improving the value for money of spending in this area, and lead work within HMT on high priorities such as higher education funding reform.

This post is a high-profile, exciting and fast-paced role, with a high level of interest from and regular interaction with the Chancellor, Number 10, and senior officials across Government. The role also forms one of three members of the senior management of the Education and Skills Team.

- build excellent working relationships with Special Advisers, senior officials and external stakeholders in HMT, DfE and wider Whitehall to partner in and influence policy development; and
- directly line manage four Range Es, lead the skills branch of 8 officials, and contribute towards the overall leadership of the Education and Skills Team.
