About the Role
If you’re interested in making a difference to people’s lives, HM Treasury offers an exciting opportunity to influence decision making that affects the whole of the UK. Working at the heart of government, you will collaborate across departments to promote responsible public spending and drive strong and sustainable economic growth.

HM Treasury’s work spans protecting customers through financial sector regulation, reducing carbon emissions to create a greener economy, promoting British trade globally, and supporting jobs and growth across the country. The role is based within the Darlington Economic Campus, a cross-government hub focused on tackling key national issues while working closer to communities.

You will engage with a wide range of colleagues, including policy teams, senior managers, other government departments, and ministerial private offices.
