• Deliver effective operational oversight of the function by having access to in-depth, real-time information about various aspects of regional team performance, including that which is related to service provision (KPIs) and service improvement. The role will also include line management of Administrative Support Officers who are responsible for supporting administration processes within the function.
• Supporting proactive and meaningful relationship management between Advisers, users and stakeholders, which facilitates the collection of intelligence and flow of information across the service, with the intention of increasing understanding of the external environment and informing efforts to continuously improve the service for users and stakeholders.
• Providing project management support for regional team improvement projects, ensuring that regional teams remain engaged and deliver on project commitments.
