The Role
We’re recruiting for Lead Application Operations Engineers specialising in SAP Business Objects here at Justice Digital to be part of our warm and collaborative National Applications Reporting Team working across HMPPS.
We are building a team of specialists to maintain Business Objects across HMPPS reporting applications and provide live service support to our teams of report writers and end users.

This role aligns against the Lead application operations engineer from the Government Digital and Data Framework.
The Team
The National Applications Reporting Team (NART) is a small but dynamic team with good working relationships across many HMPPS digital projects within the MOJ. We are part of the HMPPS Digital Studio within MOJ Digital and Technology and support the Reporting Functions of 3 national case management systems and will support new digital products when required.

The reporting systems underpin the management of offenders through their journey and have a total of approximately 70,000 end‐users across all public and private establishments and probation providers, as well as HQ offices.
The team covers a range of technology with a good understanding of the business processes and data which underpin this, and regularly adapt to many interesting and varied requests.

Our Community
We currently have over 150 experienced developers who make up the engineering community across the MoJ. You will coach and mentor junior colleagues and take part in informal support networks with your peers. You will be encouraged to play an active role in the engineering community and culture.
We take the responsibility of supportive and effective line management very seriously. We will value the skills you bring to the civil service and help you to build on them. When the time is right we will support moving between teams or government departments to learn different technologies, or take on more responsibility, according to your career goals.
