Working for #TeamNP

Our purpose at Team NP is simple: to keep people safe and to fight crime. But it takes more than officers alone to do the job – and that’s where our 2,000-strong team of police staff and 200 volunteers come in.

As one of the largest police forces in England, we have a huge variety of departments and specialisms offering you endless opportunities. From mentoring and coaching schemes and online soft skills courses to leadership development programmes; we’ll give you the support, training and time to carve out the career you always wanted.

As one of the top 50 UK inclusive employers and a disability confident employer, we promote a culture of respect in the workplace so everyone can feel seen, heard and valued.

Whether you’re a member of staff or a volunteer, you can also expect first-rate support to manage your health and wellbeing. With year-round events, a 24/7 welfare support hotline and a leading approach to neurodiversity, our initiatives enable you to be at your best.

Above all else, here at Team NP, we can offer you a career that is so much more than just a job, it’s a chance to be part of something that really matters.

The role

Here at Northumbria Police, we think our region is amazing! It takes a great deal of people from different backgrounds, with diverse skills and experience to serve our force area effectively. Think you have what it takes to help us make a difference? This could be the perfect time for you to join us in our Force Transformation Department as a Business Change Programme Manager.

As the Business Change Programme Manager, you will oversee the implementation of transformational change initiatives, assisting the designated Senior Responsible Owner (SRO) to guarantee the achievement of specified programme and project benefits.

Initially, you will be responsible for overseeing the replacement of the Force records management system, a 40-year-old, in-house-developed system which supports the delivery of Policing services, and helping to successfully embed the new system across the organisation.

You will identify and manage risks and dependencies, ensuring successful delivery of programmes within the agreed timelines.

What you’ll do

• Ensure the successful delivery of programmes through focus on the consistent delivery of the project framework standards whilst considering external factors such as infrastructure planning and interfaces with other programmes.
• Support the planning, design and delivery of programmes by proactively monitoring progress, resolving issues, and taking appropriate actions to ensure the successful mobilisation of projects within the programme framework.
• Manage the project pipeline, prioritise and schedule projects, manage project resources, and make recommendations to the Force Change Board.
• Manage within programme governance arrangements to ensure that defined programme benefits are realised, risks and interdependencies are identified and managed, and programmes are delivered successfully within agreed timescales.
• Maintain, adapt, and improve project governance protocols in conjunction with fellow Programme Managers to ensure ongoing effective delivery of projects, providing regular programme reports to show progress against key deliverables, highlighting any key risks and decisions required across projects.
• Implement Communications and Engagement initiatives so that the Force understands any changes and their associated impacts and benefits.
