Finance & Workforce Manager (Higher Executive Officer – 1 role available) – Cross Functions, Data & Analysis, Ministry of Justice
Overview
We have an exciting opportunity for a Finance & Workforce Manager to be part of a small yet high profile team at the centre of the Directorate responsible for Finance, Commercial and Reporting. Over the past year, Data & Analysis budget has significantly increased and continues to grow, and we want a proactive individual who can help support our Finance team.
The successful candidates will be a self-starter and use their own initiative to support the Head of Financial Systems by ensuring the smooth running of the monthly workforce, finance reporting process and have a clear understanding behind financial month end reporting which includes knowledge of Accruals and forecasting. The role will need to be filled with an individual who has relevant finance experience and knowledge.
The Ministry of Justice
The Ministry of Justice is a major government department, at the heart of the justice system. We work to protect and advance the principles of justice. Our vision is to deliver a world-class justice system that works for everyone in society. A key priority is to become strongly data and evidence driven by ensuring it is used to improve our business performance and the justice system for our citizens.
Corporate Services Team
Data and Analysis moved into a new structure in January 2021 which has provided the foundations to radically redefine our services to generate greater insights that drive profound improvements across the justice system and the Directorate's work environment.
Over the next 2 to 3 years, we will be continuing to transform and improve Data and Analysis, implementing new ways of working and operating as part of a multi-year change programme.
As part of the new structure, a new business unit, Corporate Services Function, was introduced. These teams focus on:
• Finance, People and Recruitment
• Business Planning, Prioritisation and Tasking
• Transformation
• Information Assurance, Data Ethics and Enquiries
It is our vision that we will inspire people at different stages of their professional career with varied responsibilities. We will focus both on the people we have now and plan for what we need in the future, adapting to meet changing needs of the business and expectations of our people. We will develop every person to be their best, providing opportunities for career progression and supporting our talent in a way that delivers positive changes around diversity and inclusion.
