Summary
About the Department
MOJ is one of the largest government departments, employing around 70,000 people (including those in the Probation Service), with a budget of approximately £9 billion. Each year, millions of people use our services across the UK - including at 500 courts and tribunals, and 133 prisons in England and Wales.

We work to protect the public and reduce reoffending, and to provide a more effective, transparent and responsive criminal justice system for victims and the public. We are also responsible for the following parts of the justice system:
• Courts
• Prisons
• Probation services
• attendance centres
We also work in partnership with other government departments and agencies to reform the criminal justice system, to serve the public and support the victims of crime. We are also responsible for making new laws, strengthening democracy, and safeguarding human rights.
Priorities
• A prison and probation service that reforms offenders
• A modern courts and justice system
• A Global Britain that promotes the rule of law
• A transformed department that is simpler, smarter and more unified

New entrants to the Civil Service will be expected to join on the minimum of the pay range. Existing Civil Servants will have their salary calculated in accordance with the Department’s pay on transfer / pay on promotion rules.
Background
The role is based in the Information Services Division which is responsible for promoting effective information management across the Ministry of Justice. Information is critical in our ability to make good decisions, develop effective policy and deliver effective services. It is therefore important that we manage this information effectively so that we can find it when it is needed, so you, your colleagues and successors will be able to work more efficiently and the MoJ will also be able to meet its legal obligations (such as Freedom of Information and Data Protection).
Information management is the process of looking after information through its lifecycle (including creating it, storing it so that it can be found quickly and easily, sharing it appropriately and then either deleting it or preserving it when we don’t need it anymore). Good information management ensures that the right information is available to the right people at the right time.
The MoJ is currently embarking on a period of digital records transformation. This is called the Digital Records Roadmap (DRR) and Digital Knowledge and Information Management Lead will be pivotal to its success. You will be part of the DRR Team and will work closely with Justice Digital to ensure we are maximising the use our technology to manage our digital information and departmental records effectively and safely.
As part of the Digital Information & Records Delivery Team, you will play a key role in the successful management and transformation of the department’s digital information.
