**Economic Crime and Sanctions Group**

The Economic Crime and Sanctions Group is part of the international family of groups in HMT. ECAS brings together HMT’s interests in promoting the UK’s prosperity, competitiveness and economic security by combatting economic crime through effective but proportionate policy, regulation and enforcement.

ECAS is made up of the Sanctions and Illicit Finance Team (SIF), and the Office of Financial Sanctions Implementation (OFSI). SIF leads policy to tackle economic crime and illicit finance, protecting growth and the financial system, including designing financial sanctions to counter threats to the UK. OFSI implements financial sanctions and works to ensure they are properly understood, implemented and enforced in the UK.

OFSI is a professional and expert organisation that values, and invests significantly in, our staff. We therefore provide an OFSI Allowance, which comes with a **minimum time in post expectation (the minimum time we expect you to carry out this role) for HEO grade of 2½ years**. This time in post will support your career development through building your depth of expertise. As part of accepting this role, and the associated OFSI Allowance, you will be agreeing to the expected posting period set out above and this will be discussed further during the interview process. This will not result in a contractual change to your terms and conditions. If you have any questions about this please contact the vacancy manager.
