    Description
    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

    About the Team

    The Welfare Spending and Reform team (WSR) is a friendly, inclusive and hard-working team of 17 people from a diverse range of backgrounds from both within and outside of government. We are responsible for the Treasury's overall welfare spending and strategy, responsible for ensuring that spending is sustainable and meets the government's wider objectives. We act as the spending team for the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP), which makes up more than 20% of all government expenditure, and lead on high-profile and complex policy and spending priorities for working age benefits, including tax credits, child benefit, disability benefits, Housing Benefit and Universal Credit. The team has also led on policies directly responding to the effects of Covid, including the £20 temporary uplift in Universal Credit, Test and Trace Support Payments and the Statutory Sick Pay Rebate. The team has an excellent team spirit and is committed to diversity, inclusion and person development.

    About the Job

    In this Job your key responsibilities are:
  • Leading for the Treasury on options to reform the disability benefits system, including working closely with DWP, the Cabinet Office and No10 to design policy that achieves HMT's objectives, advising ministers and analysing evidence.
  • Leading for the Treasury on employment policies to support people with long term sickness and disability into work. This includes working with analysts to understand the drivers of economic inactivity and working with DWP, DHSC and No10 to develop policies to support people into work. It also means supporting the successful delivery of major new employment programmes.
  • Leading the Health and Disability branch, including providing outstanding line management to two Range D Policy Advisers (HEO/SEO). This means providing direction and support, ensuring the team has the capability and knowledge needed to deliver high-quality, evidence-based advice. You will be flexible enough to adapt your style, regularly reprioritise, and act on feedback to make sure your team delivers high quality work. You will be committed to the personal and professional development of your direct reports.
  • Alongside the team's other Range Es (Grade 7s) and Range E2s (Grade 6s), acting as part of the Welfare Spending and Reform team's leadership. You will be expected to actively contribute to creating a positive, inclusive and development-focussed team. This includes supporting team-wide objectives and role-modelling HMT and team values. You will also be expected to get involved in making the Personal Tax, Welfare and Pensions group, and the wider Treasury, a great place to work.
  • Leading for the Treasury on Statutory Sick Pay (SSP), fit note reform and Carer's Allowance, including working with DWP and other Treasury teams on interactions with the Adult Social Care system,
  • Providing ongoing spending control for DWP health and disability benefits policy. This includes scrutinising business cases, advising ministers on spending decisions and working with central HMT strategy and spending teams to manage risks to the welfare forecast.
    This is an important and exciting role, leading the team's Disability Benefits and Employment branch. The successful candidate will lead for the Treasury on the health and disability benefits system, as well as employment policy for people with disabilities. This is a vital policy area for the department's fiscal and economic objectives. The role has significant leadership and management responsibilities within the team and across the wider group.

    Some of the Benefits our people love
    • 25 days annual leave (rising to 30 after 5 years), plus 8 public holidays and the King's birthday (unless you have a legacy arrangement as an existing Civil Servant). Additionally, we operate flexitime systems, allowing employees to take up to an additional 2 days off each month
