Crynodeb
Part of the Home Office Analysis & Insight directorate, the Performance Reporting & Analysis Unit (PRAU) provides reporting and analysis of performance for the Migration & Borders Mission and associated operational Capabilities. We support Ministers, the Executive Committee, Policy and Operational leads and other analytical functions with the management information (MI) that they need, as well as producing data for publication and other forms of external release. The Unit also provides advice and support to others in the Department on how to make best use of performance information and is leading on the transformation of MI systems and capabilities.
This post provides an opportunity to work in a fast-paced environment, which is inclusive by instinct, engaging with projects that work across the Department to understand and deliver reporting requirements both short and long term. It provides an opportunity to understand first-hand how the different parts of the Home Office and external bodies use and interact with key performance information. In addition, PRAU along with other areas of the Home Office, are going through a significant and exciting transformation to provide an enhanced MI service to the Department. The transformation encompasses technology and process, meaning that the role will require a degree of flexibility to deliver innovative activities to support and endorse the transformation, in addition to the responsibilities outlined below.
As the MI Change Lead, you will be responsible for all aspects of Vantage Project change management delivery. You will support the work of the Vantage project team, to deliver and successfully implement a new IT system to provide MI for Migration and Borders. You will work alongside civil servants and contractors.
You may also be asked to take on additional responsibilities for other relevant parts of PRAU’s work, as the Unit changes over time.
Due to the nature of the role, this post is available on a full-time basis only and with the possibility of compressed hours.
PRAU is geographically spread across four primary locations (London, Liverpool, and Sheffield and Croydon). Candidates will need to agree a base location of either Croydon, Sheffield or Liverpool with a requirement for periodic attendance at other Home Office locations.
Where business needs allow, some roles may be suitable for a combination of office and home-based working. This is a non-contractual arrangement where all employees will be expected to spend a minimum of 60% of their working time in an office, subject to local estates capacity. Applicants can request further information regarding how this may work in their team from the Vacancy Holder (see advert for contact details).
