About HM Treasury
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 sustainable economic growth.
Our work ranges from protecting customers through the regulation of the financial sector, helping to reduce carbon emissions and creating a greener economy, to promoting British trade around the world and supporting people across the country on jobs, growth and more.
We are part of the Darlington Economic Campus, a pioneering new cross-government hub which brings people together to play an active role in the most important issues of the day whilst working closer to the communities we serve.
The campus provides the opportunity for people from all over the UK to help shape the future of the country, and our flexible working practices ensure you can collaborate effectively with our partners.

About the Group
Personal Tax, Welfare and Pensions
We work to build a tax and welfare system that supports the government's goals of fiscal sustainability, economic growth, and fairness.
The Group is responsible for over £400bn in tax receipts and £300bn in welfare spending, impacting the lives of millions of citizens across the UK.
Our work means that we are often at the centre of ministers' decision making, and we play a significant part in the Budget and the Spending Review.
PTWP is a friendly, diverse, and inclusive Group, with a wide range of backgrounds and specialisms. We have an active 'Wellbeing Plan' focussed on learning and belonging.
About the team
The two roles fall into two different areas of the wider Personal Tax, Welfare and Pensions Group (PTWP). They both cover a range of exciting policies that are important across the population. The size and influence of these policies means that they are always of interest to ministers.
We play an active role in making sure that PTWP has an inclusive, positive working environment.
We are committed to ensuring a good work-life balance and currently have people with a variety of working patterns, including job shares and part-time roles.
The Personal Tax (PT) team is responsible for income tax, National Insurance (NICs), inheritance tax and other aspects of the personal tax system, including longer-term strategy and linking up with other areas of tax and welfare.
Total personal tax receipts exceed £300bn so our policies are fundamental in fiscal and economic importance to the Treasury - and of significant interest to the Chancellor and other Ministers.
For example, over the past few years this has included freezing NICs and income tax thresholds, delivering Growth Plan measures and the reversal, and taking the family home out of inheritance tax.
We work with other teams in HM Treasury, HMRC as well as other government departments and Number 10, and engage with a range of external stakeholders.
The Pensions and Savings team (PST) is responsible for policy that supports people to build savings and pensions throughout their working life and for the state pension and connected benefits paid to people once they retire.
To deliver our policies, we work closely with other teams within HM Treasury and with other departments, particularly Department for Work and Pensions and HMRC.
