About the job

Job summary

If youre interested in making a difference to peoples lives, the Treasury can offer you an exciting opportunity to influence decision making that affects the whole of the UK.

Examining cases and new spending proposals on fraud and error: Review DWP bids and business cases, provide advice on funding decisions, and assist with in-year spending control against agreed plans.
Preparing accurate and succinct counsel on benefits fraud and error for Ministers and senior officials. The tasks involve developing lines to take, ministerial correspondence, and preparing briefing materials.
Support the development of major welfare reforms by playing a central role in formulating and analysing welfare policy options. Contribute to the broader HMT strategy and assist in delivery across several teams.

Those on the reserve list may also be approached for similar roles at a lower grade. If you are offered a role at a lower grade and choose to decline, you can remain on the reserve list.

Internal Fraud Database Check

Candidates cannot apply to roles in the Civil Service if the application is made within a 5-year period following a dismissal for carrying out internal fraud against government.

You will be asked to provide residency information within your application form, and eligibility for national security vetting will be checked once the advert closing date has passed. In certain circumstances, for example if you have been working abroad on a government posting, a lack of residency would not be a bar to security clearance however the Department will need to consider eligibility on a case-by-case basis once the advert closing date has passed.

Feedback will only be provided if you attend an interview or assessment.
