Are you looking for a meaningful role working on spending control and scrutiny of serious and organised crime and homeland security law policy? If so, we’d love to hear from you 

About the Team

The Justice, Home Affairs and Equalities team are a friendly, high-performing team responsible for the Treasury’s relationship with the Home Office, the National Crime Agency (NCA), Ministry of Justice, Law Officer Departments, Parliament spending, and the department’s equalities responsibilities.

It’s a fascinating time to join us as we approach the end of this Spending Review period and start to think about the next. You will have opportunities to work with ministers and senior officials on high priority policy areas, like pay and crime reduction, and develop positive relationships with teams within the Treasury and across Whitehall.

About the Job

This is an exciting role at the heart of HM Treasury, offering significant opportunities to work with seniors on a high priority policy area. This is a stretching HEO role and will require developing and maintaining positive relationships with teams within Treasury and across Whitehall.

Your key responsibilities will include:

• Leading on the development of high-profile policy and spending areas.
• Engage closely with departments to monitor law enforcement spend and ensure policies deliver value for money.
• Scrutinise, challenge and advise on business cases relating to the Criminal Justice System and law enforcement technology.

Our work offers a range of opportunities to develop and demonstrate core Treasury competencies, such as working with senior stakeholders in other departments and managing risks to public service delivery.

About You

You will be able to analyse and evaluate a wide range of quantitative and qualitative information to make effective decisions ; understand the broader strategic context and keep on top of a wide range of issues; work flexibly and autonomously to prioritise competing deadlines and objectives and be able to build positive relationships with a range of stakeholders and effectively collaborate to achieve successful outcomes.

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.
