If invited for further assessment, this will consist of an interview and written analysis exercise. Assessments are scheduled for 5-12 May, however this may be subject to change. Recruitment Principles What does the Scottish Fiscal Commission do? We produce independent, robust forecasts and assessments to improve the transparency and scrutiny of the Scottish Budget. We are independent of the Scottish Government and we give the answers to questions like: How much money will the Scottish Government get from taxes? How much will social security payments cost? What will climate change and ageing population mean for public finances? Which spending decisions now could build up into huge costs in future? Our staff are part of theUK Civil Service, so we follow the Civil Service Nationality Rules. We offer a supportive and inclusive working environment and we mirror the Scottish Government employment terms and conditions. You can find out more about those on the Scottish Government's careers website. Working pattern and location Our standard hours are 35 hours per week, but we also support part-time working - 4/5 of our senior managers are part-time. Please do apply if you'd prefer to work part-time. If the top candidate is part-time we will adjust duties accordingly. We offer flexible working hours between 7am and 7pm, Monday to Friday. We offer hybrid working. Our office is in central Edinburgh (EH1 3DE) and generally you can choose whether to work there or from home. You would be expected to attend the office in person sometimes to build strong working relationships with the rest of the team, support in-person meetings or events, or for all-staff days, all-team days or specific training events. We anticipate this would be around once or twice a week. If you have specific questions please contact us. Security checks Successful candidates must complete the Baseline Personnel Security Standard (BPSS), before they can be appointed. BPSS is comprised of four main pre-employment checks - Identity, Right to work, Employment History and a Criminal Record check (unspent convictions). We are committed to equality and inclusion and we aim to recruit a diverse workforce that reflects the population of our nation. Find out how we offer and support recruitment adjustments for anyone who needs them. We also take part in Scottish Government's diversity schemes and staff networks. Reserve List We will hold a reserve list for 12 months.
