HMRC has launched a new digital specialist recruitment scheme alongside Government Digital Services (GDS).
The scheme is open to both internal and external candidates, with successful applicants being employed at a new site in the North-East within a number of roles including design, research and software development.
The site will focus on providing digital services to HMRC and help in achieving the government’s aims in helping the department to be digital-by-default.
HMRC chief digital and information officer, Mark Dearnley, said: “GDS has been the catalyst and it will help us to train up these digital specialists so that we can learn to do this for ourselves. We have to get rid of paper. We currently send out 193 million letters and receive 73 million telephone calls every year.”
