About the Group
The Enterprise and Growth Unit (EGU) promotes sustainable economic growth and higher productivity for the UK. We provide analysis and advice on enterprise, innovation, private sector investment and a cost-effective transition to a low-carbon economy.

The Enterprise and Growth Unit has a varied and exciting agenda and we work closely with a wide variety of other teams across the Treasury.

We also work alongside other departments and government organisations to ensure that we are thinking creatively, spending wisely, and acting boldly to deliver these goals

These organisations are:
- the Department for Business and Trade,
- the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero,
- the Department for Environment, Food & Rural Affairs,
- the Department for Science, Innovation and Technology,
- the Department for Transport,
- the Department for Culture, Media & Sport,
- the Competition and Markets Authority,

HM Land Registry, and

About the Team

The Climate and Environment Team (CET) acts as the focal point for HM Treasury's work on climate change, net zero and the natural environment.

The team leads on embedding domestic climate risk, net zero and environmental policy considerations into the work of the department.

We work with teams in tax, spending, economics, trade, fiscal, financial services and financial stability to use the range of levers which Treasury controls to ensure the government has affordable and economically efficient plans to achieve its legal commitments under the Climate Change Act 2008 and Environment Act 2021.

We advance Treasury interests across some of the biggest policy opportunities and challenges facing the UK including climate mitigation and adaptation, decarbonising heat and buildings, water company regulation, waste sector reform, implementing England's agricultural transition plan and reforming our domestic environment policy - including through new statutory targets for the recovery of the natural world.

The team leads engagement with and spending control for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs (Defra) and works closely with the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero (DESNZ), Cabinet Office and No10 on the government's overall climate change strategy and plan.

We also support international colleagues in their efforts to galvanise global action on climate and nature.

We are a flexible and friendly team, and our members have a range of working patterns.

About the Job

We are recruiting for two policy adviser roles in the Defra spending team, which has spending control responsibility for the Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs and advises the Chancellor and HMT Ministers on all areas of policy within Defra's remit, and that of its arm's-length bodies.

The branch advises HMT ministers on Defra policy - including agriculture, rural affairs, nature, water regulation and environmental regulation - and on ensuring government has economically efficient plans to deliver our statutory environmental ta
