The Role
We’re recruiting for a Criminal Justice System Dataset Delivery Manager here at the Ministry of Justice, to be part of our warm and collaborative Criminal Justice System Data Improvement Programme team.
About the Team
The CJS Data Improvement Programme is a joint initiative led by the Ministry of Justice and Home Office, in close partnership with the Crown Prosecution Service, to transform how we use data across the criminal justice system. In the short term, we are creating new tools and ways of working that will help join up data between different parts of the CJS, making it easier to understand how individuals flow through the system from offence through to sentencing, prison, and probation. This will help decision-makers across the system make better informed and evidenced choices about policies and services. Our long-term vision is to work with CJS stakeholders to shape an ambitious future strategy for CJS data.
For further information, read our blog from last year on Improving Data in the Criminal Justice System.
Why join us?
We are driving ambitious strategic change, delivering innovative data projects and having impact and influence across the CJS data space - making this an incredibly exciting programme to be part of.
Strong Support: This is an opportunity to work on a high-profile programme with significant ministerial interest and support to improve how data is linked, shared, and accessed across the CJS.
Transformational Impact: Our programme is delivering trailblazing ambitions. For example, development of our linked cross-CJS dataset will open up a world of linked data that hasn't been explored before, which will greatly enhance our understanding of the CJS and will directly influence strategic, policy and operational decisions.
Cross-Government Collaboration: The role provides significant opportunity to work with stakeholders across the CJS, including the Police, Home Office, Crown Prosecution Service, as well as wider government such as Number 10, Cabinet Office, Treasury, and Ministry of Justice partners such as HMCTS and HMPPS. Your work will cross departmental boundaries and provide excellent opportunities to lead on joint stakeholder initiatives.
Why Work in the Data Directorate?
The CJS Data Improvement Programme sits within the Data Directorate. We are committed to creating an environment where all our people feel valued for who they are and the work they contribute. Working in the Data Directorate offers the opportunity to be at the forefront of data transformation in government, while being part of an inclusive workplace that provides flexible working arrangements and competitive benefits as part of our people offer.
Key Responsibilities:
You will be responsible for the delivery of the cross-Criminal Justice System (CJS) dataset. This dataset is a flagship initiative with senior interest, and offers the opportunity to demonstrate strategic delivery, and build relationships across departmental boundaries. An alpha test phase of the dataset already exists and some initial analysis and insights have been produced. You will be responsible for concluding this phase, and then you will contribute to the planning and design of the beta phase, which is currently underway. This will involve:
Shaping and refining requirements for the cross-CJS dataset by working collaboratively with data science, analytical, and policy teams
Leading the delivery of these requirements through effective project management
Providing regular briefings and presentations on the cross-CJS dataset to a range of audiences, including senior leaders and cross-CJS stakeholders
Supporting the documentation and sharing of key outputs from the cross-CJS dataset
Proactively identifying and managing delivery risks, maintaining risk registers and other core project management documents
Person Specification
Essential criteria
Proven ability to confidently and independently deliver data or technology-related projects
Proven ability to build cross-organisational relationships, including managing diverse stakeholders to foster collaboration
Strong data literacy, supported by experience working in data or technology
Experience gathering and defining project requirements through stakeholder engagement and analysis of user needs
Experience influencing and delivering the strategic direction of work
