Job Description

Number of hires: 1 [reserve list will be held and we may offer near miss candidates HEO roles]

Background

The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is the largest government department and serves the public by upholding the rule of law and by delivering an efficient, fair, timely and effective justice system in which the public has confidence.

The MoJ works together and with other government departments and agencies to bring the principles of justice to life for everyone in society. From our civil courts, tribunals and family law hearings, to criminal justice, prison and probation services, we work to ensure that sentences are served and offenders are encouraged to turn their lives around and become law-abiding citizens. We believe the principles of justice are pivotal and we are steadfast in our shared commitment to uphold them.

This role sits within the Service Strategy & Transformation directorate. We are responsible for:

• Working across the Service Transformation Group (with Justice Digital, the Legal Aid Agency, Office of the Public Guardian and the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority), to understand and drive collaboration on current transformation plans
• Identifying cross-cutting transformation opportunities across the Ministry of Justice that can drive cutting-edge user experience, efficiencies and delivery of policy goals
• Baselining and supporting performance and prioritisation across the Service Transformation Group
• Bringing together all areas of the Group to collectively create a clear and compelling narrative for delivery over the next 3-5 years.
• Engaging across the Ministry of Justice and its agencies to gain buy-in and support for our initiatives.
• Supporting the Director General for Service Transformation with strategic and analytical activity.
  
  

Overview

• Developing leadership and skills – educating across the organisation about transformation initiatives and best practice
• Foster trust and collaboration – building relationships across MoJ and agencies to join up work on service transformation and learn from others
  
  

We deliver these through internal and external engagement, as well as supporting transformation projects as embedded business partners.

Our directorate works flexibly to suit the needs of the business, with team members based in London and nationally, which brings an added dimension to developing relationship management skills. The role will provide an excellent opportunity to work at the heart of MoJ in a vibrant environment, learning how Service Transformation Directorate operates within MoJ as well as the wider Civil Service.

• Contribute to the engagement strategy for the Service Transformation Group in the run up to fiscal events, engaging with wider MoJ, HMT and No.10 as appropriate to secure buy in and support for key initiatives
• Deliver strategic comms across the Service Transformation Group in order to create a sense of cohesion and purpose in a new environment
• Create briefings, submissions and enquiries on new service transformation activity
• Engage and communicate with stakeholders at all levels, including interviews with experts and articulating the purpose and progress of service improvements to a range of audiences
