Summary
The Home Office is central to UK life. Our work extends from devising drugs policies and ensuring the immigration system is not being abused, to delivering an accountable policing service. Join us in this important role and you’ll be a key member of His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services leadership team. The Insight Portfolio is a central function within this organisation, and is responsible for using analytical and digital expertise to inform and improve inspections.
The role
You’ll be taking on a complex, senior role, and your primary focus will be to lead, design and direct a programme of data collection, analysis, insight, research and evaluation. Working across multiple areas of inspection activity to provide operational insights and identify opportunities that could deliver more effective inspections, you’ll also contribute to a wide range of activities such as strategy development, building organisational capabilities and capacity, business planning, inspection development and risk management.
Committed to delivering high quality, accurate and timely data and analysis to support inspections across the country’s police forces and fire and rescue services, you’ll have leadership and line management accountability for around 40 civil servants, secondees and associates. With this in mind, we’ll expect you to ensure the team have the skills, capacity and knowledge to deliver the full range of their important remit.
About you
With a first degree in a relevant discipline, and well developed senior-level experience of using an agile digital approach to data collection, analysis, research and evaluation, you’ll possess a good understanding of analytical techniques and statistical data, and their application for inspection purposes. With excellent communication skills, good commercial awareness and familiarity with the outsourcing of digital, analytical and research projects, knowledge of the strategic and operational challenges faced by police forces and fire services would also be desirable.
Membership of, or the skills and experience that would allow you to be recognised by one of the main analytical professions would be a bonus. In addition, you’ll be at an advantage if you have experience of using police processes for receiving and recording crimes, and an understanding of the role of inspection and how it can improve policing.
In return for your skills and expertise we can offer you a great career with one of the Government’s most interesting and inclusive departments. And with ongoing training and development opportunities and a highly competitive benefits package, there’s no saying where your career will take you at the Home Office.
