Strategy Manager, SEO, Data & Analysis, Ministry of Justice
Overview
We have 1 role in the Better Outcomes Through Linked Data (BOLD) Programme, within the Data & Analysis Directorate.
The BOLD programme is a cross-government initiative delivered in partnership between the MoJ, the Department of Health & Social Care (DHSC), Public Health Wales (PHW) and the Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities (DLUHC) and this role offers the opportunity to deliver impact across a broad range of public services.
Public services collect a large amount of data which is used to improve the quality of services offered to the public, but it is often not shared between organisations, making it difficult to understand whether certain services have been effective.
The BOLD Programme, backed by £28.3M of investment from HM Treasury, will improve the connectedness of government data so that policymakers and those working on the frontline of UK public services have better quality evidence on what works in supporting victims, reducing homelessness and substance misuse and helping offenders turn their backs on crime. Understanding what services best help prison leavers into work could help to prevent thousands of people becoming victims each year and save some of the £18 billion annual cost of repeat crimes.
The programme has 4 demonstrator pilot projects focusing on substance misuse, homelessness, victims of crime and reducing reoffending, which aim to utilise the linked dataset when it is created. The demonstrator projects are so named because they are pilots for the ethos behind BOLD, striving to demonstrate the value of linking data across departmental boundaries, in this first iteration, to support adults who interact in different ways with the Criminal Justice System.
Each pilot is being run by a multidisciplinary team comprising professionals from Policy, Analysis and Technology, all funded by BOLD and working full-time on the programme.
Robust evaluation strategies underpin BOLD, aiming to promote the successful facets of the programme into future years of funding and share lessons learned across the rest of government. BOLD aims to help other data initiatives stride forward with the collaborative mindset of BOLD, so we can achieve success together. All BOLD team members are expected to share and implement best practices across the virtual teams they work within.
Roles are open to civil servants across government on secondment at level transfer or temporary promotion, or for non-civil servants on a fixed term contract [no more than 12 months].
We welcome applications from candidates based across the UK. Candidates will have the option of being based in the Leeds or London HQ offices (with flexible working arrangements available) or your nearest Justice Collaboration Centre or Justice Satellite Office. These are based at the following JCCs: Cardiff, Leeds, Nottingham, South Tyneside, Brighton, Ipswich and Liverpool, and the following JSOs: Ashford, Beverley, Haverfordwest, Hull, Merthyr Tydfil, Manchester, Newport, Birmingham, Sheffield, North Shields, Bristol, Wolverhampton, Weston-Super-Mare, Stafford, Truro, Winchester and Leeds.
Alternative locations may be available and will be discussed and agreed on the completion of background checks.
Interviews are likely to take place in September 2024 and will be held via MS Teams. We will keep a merit list for a year for those who successfully pass the interview board but who are not offered a post.
