Job description:


Public Services Group


The Public Services Group is at the heart of Treasury's work to secure sustainable public finances and drive economic growth.

We manage public spending of more than £250bn.

across key public services and departments, including health, education, the criminal justice system, local government, housing, defence and the devolved administrations in Scotland, Wales, and Northern Ireland.


We do this by working with other government departments, ministers, and other Treasury teams to ensure that spending plans support high quality public services, help the economy to grow and provide value for money for the taxpayer.


Our roles offer a range of opportunities to work with senior leaders in other government departments and on the frontline of public services and ensure the effective delivery of public services.


The Group is committed to being an excellent place to work, with a relentless focus on good management, learning and development and continuous improvement in everything we do.


About the team
The
Housing, Planning and Cities team is a friendly team of about 20 people.

We are responsible for over £10 billion of public spending each year, covering a huge range of government priorities including homelessness, housing, planning reform, local economic growth and the 'levelling up' of communities across the UK.


Our work is at the centre of government, and is an exciting place to learn, develop and build an understanding of how government policy making works.

We work closely with the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) to ensure public services are as effective as possible, and provide good value to the taxpayer.


We value different experience, and encourage people from a wide range of backgrounds and with different ideas to join the team.

We are dedicated to diversity, belonging, personal development and work-life balance, and also support flexible working patterns.


About the job

Government policies - the plans we make and actions we take - shape lives.


Whether it's how we fund education, or actions to ensure the health system can deliver during difficult times, the policy we create and implement sets the course of action for all public services.


Great policy making is about understanding what needs to change, what problems need to be solved and supporting ministers to arrive at the best solution to deliver the change.

Policy also means working out how we are going to make the changes or solve the problems, and then delivering on those plans.

To do all this, we need to build relationships with ministers, civil service colleagues, groups with expertise and the public.

To work as a policy adviser, you will need to demonstrate a range of skills, including strong problem-solving skills, the ability to clearly explain your thinking both in writing and in person, and the drive to overcome challenges and see your ideas through into action and delivery.

Responsibilities may vary in line with government priorities and can be tailored according to development
