About the Role

The Treasury is seeking a skilled Freedom of Information Case Adviser to join its Correspondence and Information Rights Team (CIRT). As a key member of the team, you will play a crucial role in ensuring the Treasury's compliance with the Freedom of Information Act and the Environmental Information Regulations.

Key Responsibilities:

  1. Develop a solid working knowledge of the FOI Act and the Environmental Information Regulations.
  2. Handle own casework by ensuring policy officials engage fully with the FOI Team and the legislation and adhere to strict statutory deadlines.
  3. Suggest and deliver solutions for the appropriate handling of sensitive information through discussion with key partners to provide responses in accordance with the legislation.
  4. Engage with external partners, including bodies associated with the Treasury, to share relevant knowledge and information.

  6. Work on continuous improvement and be willing to develop an understanding of data and how analysis can drive up performance.

About You

The ideal candidate will have previous experience of information disclosure issues, including experience of handling requests under the Freedom of Information Act and the Environmental Information Regulations.
