About the Group

Ministerial and Communications

The Ministerial and Communications Group sits at the heart of the Treasury. If you are interested in the inner workings of the Government, meeting Ministers, Senior Officials and liaising with the Press then this could be the place for you! We are a friendly and inclusive Group working on some of the most exciting issues of the day, bringing together work from across the rest of the department and engaging closely with partners across Whitehall and beyond.

We provide support to Ministers, through Ministerial offices. We act as Treasury's external face, through the Press Office and Communications team. We are responsible for managing the department, through our support for the Permanent Secretary, the Second Permanent Secretaries, the Treasury Board, and the Executive Management Board (EMB), and our ownership of Treasury governance structures. The Group is led by the Permanent Secretary.

About the Team

The Communications Team is responsible for all communications conducted by HM Treasury and its Ministers. We work closely with Ministers, special advisers and policy teams to help inform, promote and defend HMT policies and the government's economic plan through traditional and new media channels. As a team we are hard-working, supportive and fun. We work highly collaboratively across the different aspects of communications (press, digital, external affairs, internal, strategy & events). The successful applicant will need to be willing to work flexibly across priorities.

About the Job

This is an exciting opportunity to support the Head of External Affairs to work with a variety of high-profile external partners to amplify new announcements, increase awareness of measures to support people, businesses and the economy and to demonstrate delivery of new Treasury schemes. The post-holder will be organised, react quickly and calmly to changing circumstances, have strong communication skills and be able to think creatively to reach solutions.

This role is likely to suit somebody with previous experience of working in an external affairs or partnerships team, events & visits team, press office, private office, communications team or similar.

The post-holder will be responsible for:

  • Develop strong working relationships with Treasury policy and communications colleagues, as well as with other government departments, to ensure a joined-up approach on external engagement plans for key announcements.
  • Help develop strategic external engagement plans ahead of each policy announcement or fiscal event. This will involve engaging with external partners in advance of policy announcements and working with them to line up support for announcements.
  • Creatively use advocates to build news hooks and to bring to life how government support is benefitting businesses and partners.
  • Develop strong two-way working relationships with key external partners to ensure they are appropriately informed around announcements and fiscal events, that Treasury Communications is aware of upcoming business announcements, and to provide insight into business sentiment.
  • Lead on implementing and maintaining a master contact database of business partners, tracking engagement, monitoring sentiment and identifying which Treasury schemes they are taking up.
  • Demonstrate outstanding judgement and acute political awareness, working with policy and press colleagues to identify and handle presentational risks and opportunities associated with external engagement.
  • Help to evaluate the impact of partnerships around key announcements, learning from what works and generating creative ideas to continually improve.
  • Proactively seek opportunities to attend cross-government external affairs networking events and relevant industry events e.g. industry award ceremonies to develop effective relationships with relevant government departments and business bodies.

HM Treasury operates an office based working approach across all Treasury sites - Darlington, London, and Norwich, and along with the rest of the Civil Service, has an expectation of a minimum of 60% attendance in the office, along with working remotely. This blended working approach allows you to work collaboratively, meet stakeholders face to face, support others and promotes a healthy work life balance (please be aware that this role can only be worked in the UK and not overseas).

Eligibility Statement

To allow for meaningful checks to be carried out, applicants will need to have lived in the UK for at least 3 out of the past 5 years.

Please read the Vetting Charter for information on what to expect during the vetting process and what will be expected from you. Many areas of your life may be explored during your vetting journey, and it is important that every individual, regardless of their background and experiences, should feel comfortable going through this personal process, whilst having confidence that it is fair, proportionate, and inclusive.
