We are looking for a motivated Strategic Workforce Planning Lead to work in a challenging and exciting environment. Working with a broad range of internal and external stakeholders, you will take the lead to develop and embed an improved approach to strategic workforce planning (SWP), helping the department set direction for its people and workforce needs, and ensure alignment with the delivery of MoJ business objectives and the Civil Service workforce agenda. This will include the assessment, development and embedding of new tools and processes that will provide clear oversight of SWP performance in the MoJ.
You will have the opportunity to build relationships with senior internal and external stakeholders, seeing first-hand how your influence can deliver a better justice service to society.
Your responsibilities will be to
• Develop, implement, and embed new integrated, strategic workforce planning practices that will enable the organisation to realise its priorities and make best use of its financial and workforce resources, aligning to those of the Civil Service
• Work to ensure that the department prioritises strategic workforce planning ahead of future spending reviews and ensure that it is used to help the department realise its strategic and business objectives into the medium (3-5 yrs) and long term (5+ years).
• Build and maintain relationships with key stakeholders, gaining their commitment to act upon recommendations for SWP (Business Architecture). Establish early socialisation with business groups on the ambition and benefits of medium to long term workforce planning.
• Oversee the development and maintenance of tools and guidance for Workforce Planning in line with the business planning cycle.
• Identify opportunities to develop system functionality, analysis and outputs to improve the range and quality of data for customers e.g., predictive analysis for scenario modelling.
• Identify changes that occur internally, the impact they may have on the workforce, and scan the external environment to seek out data sources and intelligence that provide expert strategic advice for building a workforce for the future - e.g., on development in science, technology and society.
• Interpret data and insight with a view to supporting business areas in understanding their future workforce needs, e.g., location, skills.
• Assess the capability of the organisation to deliver effective Strategic Workforce Plans and ensure that an effective SWP upskilling programme is available to meet identified gaps.
• Represent the Department at cross-government Strategic Workforce Planning Networks.
• Lead and manage a team of Strategic Workforce Planning Managers – setting objectives, monitoring delivery, encouraging development, providing support and sponsorship.
You’ll be a highly motivated person who meets the following essential criteria:
• Strong drafting and presentational skills.
• Strong strategic workforce planning skills, knowledge with experience of designing resourcing plans to ensure the right workforce is mobilised at the right time.
• Strong analytical skills, including the ability to derive insight from multiple data sources, use data to support debate, conduct statistical analysis, and solve complex problems; .
• The ability to present complex data and analysis in a visually accessible way.
• The ability to understand, marshal and interpret a wide range of abstract concepts, ideas and sets of information; draw conclusions; and make recommendations.
• The ability to cultivate and maintain effective relationships, experience of influencing key stakeholders, on a range of SWP subjects – and a range of people at all levels on whose efforts the FWD team will depend - across the business and externally.
• Strong leadership experience of working collaboratively across teams, confidently with senior colleagues, managing a multi-disciplinary team with a broad range of diverse and demanding stakeholders.
Desirable Skills and Knowledge:
• CIPD accreditation, a related field, or a willingness to study to achieve it.
• Experience of designing and implementing strategic workforce planning processes and procedures; preferably in large and/or complex contexts.
