About the Team

Our People and Capability Team are a diverse team of HR professionals who provide critical support to the department across a number of areas. We provide expert advice to enable the department to achieve its wider aims, delivering everything from day-to-day support to transformational change. We work closely with senior leaders to make sure that our work genuinely supports and makes valuable contributions to the organisation. You would be part of a friendly Resourcing team who are responsible for the full range of resourcing policies across HMT, as well as redeployment. We handle complex casework and contract manage several providers of recruitment services. We sit in the Resourcing and Reward Branch and work alongside other HR teams such as Casework & Policy, Workforce Planning and Talent and Capability to provide a comprehensive HR service to the Department.

The key responsibilities of the post-holder will be:

Lead on recruitment policy for HM Treasury. Implement a new framework for Civil Service recruitment expected in early 2027 and update policy to reflect the new framework. This will include working with people across the department to inform the approach to roll out and developing training.
Advise seniors on resourcing policies and governance to enable the department to meet headcount targets. Implement any changes required to recruitment controls, including designing processes and communicating to the department.
Advise hiring managers and leaders on workforce planning and resourcing decisions. This includes working with the senior Workforce Panel to agree recruitment approaches, handling resourcing policy queries and escalations, advising on the planning and terms of loans and secondments, and problem solving on unusual and senior resourcing needs.
Lead on the redeployment of staff without a permanent role, including agreeing policy changes as required, overseeing the matching processes, and handling queries and escalations. Engage regularly with Trade Unions on the progress of redeployment and policy issues.
Provide leadership to the operational recruitment and onboarding teams, including supporting the teams through the introduction of new systems and ways of working. The role will also include line management of at least one staff member.
Drive innovation and continuous improvement in recruitment and onboarding, working with the HR Operations Transformation project team and team leads to identify how technology and process changes can improve efficiency.
Support the Head of Resource and Reward in the leadership and management of the branch and participate in wider People & Capability team activities and projects as necessary.
