Background
The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is the largest government department and serves the public by upholding the rule of law and by delivering an efficient, fair, timely and effective justice system in which the public has confidence.
The MoJ works together and with other government departments and agencies to bring the principles of justice to life for everyone in society. From our civil courts, tribunals and family law hearings, to criminal justice, prison and probation services. We work to ensure that sentences are served and offenders are encouraged to turn their lives around and become law-abiding citizens. We believe the principles of justice are pivotal and we are steadfast in our shared commitment to uphold them.
This role sits within the Service Strategy & Transformation directorate. We are responsible for:
Working across the Service Transformation Group (with Justice Digital, the Legal Aid Agency, Office of the Public Guardian and the Criminal Injuries Compensation Authority), to understand and drive collaboration on current transformation and digital plans
Supporting digital development and innovation to enhance the victim experience throughout the criminal justice (CJ) process, implement recommendations from the Independent Sentencing Review and support probation workers in His Majesty’s Prison and Probation Service (HMPPS)
Identifying, encouraging and delivering new ways of working, acting as a critical friend to delivery partners and collaborating with a wider range of stakeholders to improve experiences for those in the CJ system.
Identifying cross-cutting transformation opportunities across the Ministry of Justice that can drive cutting-edge digital delivery, user experience, efficiencies and delivery of policy goals
Baselining and supporting performance and prioritisation across the Service Transformation Group
Bringing together all areas of the Group to collectively create a clear and compelling narrative for delivery over the next 3-5 years.
Engaging across the Ministry of Justice and its agencies to gain buy-in and support for our initiatives.
Supporting the Director General for Service Transformation with strategic and analytical activity.

In this role you will advise and support a multi-disciplinary team to deliver against a transformation priority area (including Victims or Probation)[PL1] [MA2] , to design solutions to some of the most difficult problems in Justice. You will support teams to set up a methodology which drives at transformative change, both in terms of results (i.e., better outcomes for those using Justice services) and in ways of working (i.e., a truly cross-functional approach bringing together multidisciplinary teams to deliver). You will need to be organised and effective at working on complex projects that are high priority for senior leadership. You need experience working with range of stakeholders and professions and be effective at bringing together groups to define and achieve a common goal. As a representative of the Service Strategy and Transformation Directorate, excellent communication skills and the ability to remain calm and reliable under pressure are also essential. Directorate staff are both London and nationally based with a flexible working arrangement to suit the needs of the business, which brings an added dimension to developing relationship management skills.
