About the Team
The Workforce Pay and Pensions (WPP) team sits at the heart of Public Spending group, working closely with teams across Whitehall to set, deliver and maintain Government’s overarching policy positions on public sector pay and pensions. The team is also responsible for leadership of the implementation of the McCloud remedy. WPP is of crucial importance to managing public spending and delivering high quality public services. Spending in this area is one of the largest areas of public expenditure, around £182bn a year. The team’s remit therefore covers around one in every four pounds the Government spends.
There is a strong emphasis on handling and engagement as our work attracts significant media and parliamentary pick up. The team includes policy officials and analysts, and we work very closely with department specific spending teams in Public Services group. You will also need to build positive relationships with senior officials in other departments, lawyers and actuaries as well as the TUC (Trades Union Congress).
