Policy Adviser

3 months ago

Darlington, County Durham, United Kingdom HM TREASURY Full time

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 balanced economic growth


About the Team

This role sits within the regulatory unit of the insurance team. The UK has one of the most vibrant and innovative insurance sectors in the world and is a leader in complex and bespoke provisions of insurance. The sector is a crucial part of our economy, managing £1.8 trillion in investment, amounting to the equivalent of 25% of the UK’s total net worth.

As the insurance team, we are responsible for enabling the growth and competitiveness of the UK’s insurance sector, stimulating innovation, and maximising the benefit of insurance companies’ investments in the UK while preserving market stability and safety for policyholders.


As the regulatory unit, we are responsible for the sound regulation of this sector. This involves working to establish the balance in regulation between enabling and promoting growth while ensuring that the market remains stable and protects policyholders from market-wide shocks. A key aspect of this is prudential regulation; ensuring that firms’ hold enough capital to protect their policyholders and survive a 1-in-200-year economic shock, while also enabling sound investments to drive productive growth in the UK.


About the Job

You will join the regulatory branch. We are currently reforming how insurers are regulated to incentivise productive investment in the UK economy and spur an internationally competitive insurance sector, while retaining high standards of policyholder of protection. This is one the landmark economic reforms of the Government, which industry have estimated could result in £100 billion in investment over the next ten years in the UK.


Key Accountabilities for this role include:

  1. Reform of the regulation of the insurance sector. You will work to help reform to the regulation of the insurance sector through becoming HMT’s subject-matter expert on key aspects of the insurance regime and work across Government to examine proposals for reform and develop your own. This is one of the highest profile reforms among the suite of ambitious reforms to the regulation of financial services.
  2. Implement crucial legislative reform. You will work with Treasury Legal Advisors to ensure that reforms to the regulation of the insurance sector are accurately translated into legal form, leading the delivery of reforms into the statute book and developing the associated products to ensure its smooth delivery. This will require, and help you enhance, crucial project management skills.
  3. Influence a wide variety of high profile stakeholders and manage the polarised positions that can sometimes develop between industry and the regulators to secure a mutually acceptable and deliverable common ground. You will maintain relationships with the insurance sector, financial regulators, and across Government, to develop insurance policy.
  4. Engage with ministers and senior officials on a subject which is high profile, on which they have strong opinions and in which there is media interest. You will prepare briefings for ministers and senior officials to assist them in achieving insurance policy objectives, especially in relation to the passage of the statutory instruments that effect reform of the regulation of the insurance sector.
  5. Credibly represent HMT in meetings with regulators and the insurance sector. Policy relating to the regulation of the insurance sector is developed and enhanced in meetings with key stakeholders. You will have the opportunity to develop core skills in this area by representing HMT in high profile meetings with important stakeholders to help influence stakeholders, find common ground between industry and the regulator, and understand and share key insights to progress the aims of Government.

About You

You will also collaborate with those same, to ensure that the benefits of the reforms are realised and react to developments in the insurance market, both opportunities and risks. You will reach across HMG, leading the conversation within Government, alongside engaging and developing policy with experts in the regulator and in industry. From this you will be able to develop recommendations for reform, compromise or novel solutions, utilising this to influence the decisions governing one of the most crucial sections of the UK’s economy.


You don’t need to be a policy professional or have any specific qualifications to apply to work as a Policy Adviser at HM Treasury. We are looking for people who have the right set of skills for the role, who demonstrate the values of HM Treasury and the Civil Service, and who are motivated to come and work with us on a range of issues that are at the heart of how we spend money and deliver public services.


HM Treasury is proud of a diverse and inclusive work environment, committed to fairness and the promotion of equality of opportunity for all. We know that having a range of experiences, ways of working and thinking makes us a stronger organisation, better at developing policy that is reflective of the communities we serve. We embrace different views and experiences and value the fresh perspective that people from a variety of circumstances bring to the work we do. We welcome applications from candidates who have not previously worked for the Civil Service, mid- and late-career changers with transferrable skills, people from all backgrounds and circumstances regardless of disability, ethnicity, LGBT+ identity and socio-economic status.
