HM Revenue and Customs (HMRC) is one of the largest employers in the UK with over 67,000 employees nationwide. We play a vital role in collecting taxes that fund our public services.
We’re not just about collecting taxes from individuals and businesses. The revenue we gather funds vital public services, from schools and hospitals to roads and communities, making a real difference in people’s lives.
Here, your commitment to social good will thrive as you take pride in playing a crucial role in supporting society.
We also champion workers’ rights by enforcing the minimum wage and support families by administering benefits like child benefit, tax-free childcare, and statutory sick pay.
But there’s so much more to HMRC than tax! We offer diverse career paths across the UK in areas such as commercial, property management, communications, human resources, project delivery, digital services and more.
