About the Team
The Local Government and Reform team is responsible for managing HM Treasury’s interests in local government policy and funding. We work closely with colleagues in the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government and other departments to shape the government’s approach to the local government sector.
This includes ensuring that councils have the resources they need to deliver key services and implement government priorities, including reform of adult and children’s social care. We also seek to ensure that financial powers and policy responsibilities are devolved to the most appropriate level of government. HM Treasury has an interest in these issues from both a spending perspective (ensuring expenditure is affordable and delivered within budgets) and an economic perspective (evaluating whether policies offer value-for-money and will deliver the benefits envisaged). The team is split into two units: the Local Government Finance Unit and the English Devolution and Economic Clusters Unit.

About You
You will be able to proactively build, maintain and influence networks, and work collaboratively and effectively with stakeholders across organisational boundaries to deliver results. You will be able to deliver policy objectives in a complex stakeholder environment and develop and present reasoned, well-evidenced arguments on complex issue.
