Our training programme has increased in size from 400 to 2000 seminars during 2023-24 with the responsibility for all magistrates training moves over to the College. The majority of our training seminars are face-to-face with some digital seminars. As we integrate the Magistrates training programme in College as part of business as usual, the Central Planning team will work with the wider POpS team to understand the interplay between the programmes, with a view to having a single overview of the full training programme in the future and with a fully flexible operational support team.
• The Planning and Operational Support Team is based across three sites – London, Loughborough and Leeds. This post will be based from the London or Loughborough office with travel to the other office locations as required.
Overview of the Role
You will work closely with the operational leads in the Planning and Operational Support Team to support the work to ensure that the College’s current and future training programmes are planned, organised and delivered to schedule and properly resourced. You will have a strong focus on supporting the understanding of resourcing across the team to support delivery of the programme. You will also work alongside colleagues supporting the planning and delivery of support to the magistrates training programme to build up an understanding of how that part of the training programme is planned, and work through how that can be incorporated into the wider planning cycle.
As well as working with your College colleagues, you will build strong working relations working very closely with judicial training leads and their judicial training teams and our wider stakeholders, such as the Judicial Office Business Support Team, HMCTS and Judicial HR, to support the design, monitoring and management of the training programme.
You will work closely with colleagues across the JO, HMCTS, MoJ and the Judicial Appointments Commission to support understanding of the current and future judicial plans and exercises to inform the training programme. You will help track and plan the College response to judicial recruitment training requirements.
You will work closely with the College’s Performance and Reporting team to support work on assumption planning to underpin the training programme. This will include working with the team to analyse data and trends to test and build training plans to meet demand.
You will support the project management of the College’s annual training prospectus for the courts and tribunals judiciary and, whilst the magistrates’ training programme is coordinated by the Head of Magistrates Training Delivery, there will be a role to play in understanding how that programme is developed, sequence of delivery and how the program planning processes could align in the future.
Do you have great planning skills? Are you proactive and confident in stakeholder engagement and delivering through others? Are you a good communicator able to articulate views, listen to and consider others point of view, stand your ground when necessary and deliver difficult messages professionally? Do you have good attention to detail and enjoy analytical work? Are you comfortable managing a profile of work at pace which is subject to, at times, necessary variation and change whilst keeping a clear focus on delivery? Are you able to keep multiple parties who depend on the accuracy and completeness of your information up to date and well-informed in what can be a dynamic environment? Do you enjoy reviewing ways of working with a view to improving a service and outcomes?
If you answered yes to these questions, then this role may be for you.
This is a full-time role with flexible working. We can consider a job share. The post-holder will be based out of the London or Loughborough office. Travel will be expected between the office locations on occasion as part of collaborative working and possible management oversight.
