Crynodeb
Regulation Directorate (RD) is at the heart of the work in supporting the government’s growth mission. It aims to:
- Reform the stock of existing regulations to minimise bureaucracy and modernise regulation on the statute book
- Ensure the pipeline of regulation is necessary and proportionate, enabling analysis and scrutiny of new regulatory proposals from government departments, via the Better Regulation Framework.
- Ensure independent regulators deliver the right outcomes, with DBT driving a coordinated approach across government.
- Improve economic regulation by ensuring it supports growth and investment, promotes competition, works for consumers, and enables innovation.
When delivered effectively, regulation and the work of regulators plays a vital role in protecting consumers, the environment and setting the right frameworks for businesses to thrive. By enabling better regulation, we will ensure we maintain our high standards but can flex and adapt to the new technologies and challenges that the next few decades will inevitably bring.
The Regulatory Policy Committee (RPC) is an independent arm’s length body sponsored by RD/DBT that plays a key role in delivering the Government’s Better Regulation Framework. The RPC consists of eight independent committee members, supported by a secretariat of 14 DBT civil servants, who are responsible for assessing the quality of the evidence and analysis that underpin the development and evaluation of departments’ most significant regulatory policy proposals. The RPC produces and publishes independent opinions setting out its views on the strength of the analysis to inform ministerial and parliamentarian decision making, as well as informing external stakeholders including business and civil society organisations.
We are seeking to recruit two G7 economists to join the team of analysts within the RPC secretariat. This is an exciting opportunity to work on a wide range of policy areas across departments, applying appraisal and evaluation techniques to support the Committee in independently assessing the strength of analysis supporting regulatory proposals.
For these roles within the RPC secretariat your responsibilities will include:
- Working with the Committee members, produce high-quality opinions assessing the strength of the evidence and analysis within departments options assessments, impact assessments and post-implementation reviews for regulatory measures submitted to the RPC for independent scrutiny
- Provide advice to departmental analysts and policy leads on appraisal and evaluation, often at a senior level, as they develop analysis to support regulatory proposals
- Lead within the team on key strategic issues as the RPC and departments transition to the new Better Regulation Framework, for example, developing updated and new RPC published guidance, identifying key methodological issues relating to the new framework, improving and making available the data RPC holds on the quality of the submissions it receives
- Be a pro-active member of the secretariat’s management team and provide a positive contribution to continuing to maintain a great work environment where staff can develop and deliver a high-quality service
