Crynodeb

DVSA is investing in the digital workforce we need to meet future challenges—building a more sustainable, skilled, and in-house capability that reduces our reliance on external contractors. As part of this work, we’ve created the Digital & Data Hub: a central team that brings together recruitment, onboarding, workforce planning, and governance to support the growth of a modern digital profession within the agency.

We’re now looking for a senior leader to head up the Hub. This role will focus on scaling up our recruitment of digital professionals, embedding consistent onboarding and capability support, and helping DVSA meet its ambitious workforce targets in line with government expectations.

You’ll work with colleagues across digital, data, HR, and commercial teams—providing direction, solving delivery challenges, and building the processes that support long-term workforce growth. This is a role for someone who can navigate complexity, influence at senior levels, and lead a team to deliver tangible outcomes that strengthen our internal capability.

If you’re energised by solving workforce challenges at scale and want to shape the conditions that help digital professionals succeed—we’d love to hear from you.

The Head of Digital & Data Hub leads DVSA’s strategic approach to digital recruitment, onboarding, and workforce capability. You will be responsible for designing and running the processes that ensure DVSA can attract, develop, and retain the digital talent it needs—while also contributing to the government’s wider contractor reduction and efficiency targets.

This is a leadership role with both operational and strategic scope, sitting at the heart of the agency’s drive to build a more skilled, sustainable digital workforce.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Digital Workforce Growth
    Lead end-to-end recruitment campaigns across digital and data professions, ensuring roles are advertised, assessed, and onboarded in a consistent, timely, and inclusive way.
  • Onboarding & Capability Support
    Oversee the onboarding journey for all digital professionals, including apprenticeships, and develop mechanisms that support retention, development, and career progression.
  • Contractor Reduction & Efficiency Alignment
    Drive activity to convert and reduce external contractor roles where appropriate, aligning to Civil Service and Spring Budget targets for efficiency and workforce sustainability.
  • Governance & Reporting
    Ensure the Hub maintains accurate oversight of digital workforce metrics—including headcount, vacancies, contractor usage, and diversity indicators—and reports effectively to DVSA and central government stakeholders.
  • Cross-functional Collaboration
    Work closely with HR, finance, commercial, and digital leadership to coordinate workforce activity, unblock delivery risks, and provide senior-level assurance on progress.
