There will be at least 750 roles based at the Darlington economic campus, with the Treasury expecting to provide 200 – 300 of these. We are working at pace to establish the campus as quickly as possible. The Treasury’s workforce in Darlington will be made up of existing staff who voluntarily relocate from London and people who are recruited directly to the campus. An expression of interest process is open for existing Treasury staff who wish to move, and relocations are taking place on a gradual basis. A Treasury Director General has been appointed to lead the new office. There are also a number of live HMT vacancies where successful candidates can choose to work from Darlington. We will publish details of relocations and recruitment in HMT’s 21/22 annual report and accounts. The campus will be fully operational by the end of this Parliament.
