**Job description**:
**Financial Stability Group**

The Financial Stability Group advises government on ensuring the stability of the UK financial system and economy. We track new and existing risks to the financial stability of the UK and the global financial system, taking action to mitigate risks and combat these when needed.

We intervene directly to manage any public support for the financial services sector - including stewardship of (and exit from) the government’s interests in NatWest Bank.

We’re also responsible for ensuring that the financial authorities have the appropriate legal powers and resources to deal with future failures in the financial sector, as well as planning for future stability events.

The Group works with the Bank of England, the Prudential Regulation Authority, the Financial Conduct Authority, the intelligence agencies and international partners, to build and maintain systems to monitor assess and deal with financial stability risks.

**Resilience and Resolution Team**

The Resilience and Resolution Team monitors, prepares for, and mitigates risks to the stability of the financial system. We do this by ensuring the UK authorities have the tools to respond to events in the financial system, such as a bank failure or cyber-attack, in a way that protects the taxpayer and customers who rely on it for their daily banking. This is an active policy area, and the team responds to events in the financial system in real time.

We work closely with the financial sector’s regulators, the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority, the Financial Services Compensation Scheme and with partners across Government, particularly the Cabinet Office and the security agencies.

We also participate in international dialogues in the G20, G7 and EU on risks facing the global financial system to shape global policy making.

**Resilience Unit**

The Resilience Unit is responsible for improving the security and operational resilience of the finance sector to risks. Such as, hostile state activity, cyber-attacks, technological failure, and dependencies on other critical sectors. HM Treasury is the lead government department with responsibility for operational resilience, including cyber resilience of the finance sector. We work closely with the finance sector regulators, the National Cyber Security Centre, the National Protective Security Authority, and other parts of Government to understand threats, to ensure a strong regulatory framework and respond to incidents. The team works with international partners, particularly the US Treasury, the G20 and G7 to shape cyber policy in the finance sector.

We are also responsible for coordinating the financial authorities’ response to operational disruption of the finance sector, and when serious incidents occur in the finance sector we work at pace to manage the response. This is a very outward-facing team: we work closely with the sector’s regulators, the Bank of England and the Financial Conduct Authority; and with partners across Government, particularly the Cabinet Office and
