Summary
The Child Maintenance Service (CMS) supports parents who are unable to reach a private financial agreement by ensuring— and when necessary, enforcing— their legal responsibility to contribute to their child’s living costs. Our mission is simple: to get money to children, because it makes a real difference in their lives.
While we’ve made significant progress in transforming our service, we remain ambitious about what more we can achieve for the families who rely on us. CMS is a dynamic and rewarding place to work. Step into any of our service centres and you’ll find passionate, dedicated professionals committed to supporting our customers.
We are proud to foster an inclusive and diverse workforce where everyone can thrive. If you're looking to make a difference, this could be the career for you.
This is a fantastic opportunity to start or grow a fulfilling career in the Civil Service. We offer a flexible work-life balance, along with opportunities for growth, challenge, and personal development.
CMS is an amazing place to work. Walk into any one of our service centres and you will be overwhelmed by the passion and commitment that our people have for supporting our customers.
The People Development Senior Leader role is no different, it’s an influential and critical role, leading a small team in building, shaping, and project managing people related activity, especially in the learning and development space.
The People Development Senior Leader will collaboratively oversee a dynamic, fast-paced team dedicated to delivering high-quality, cost-effective learning and development opportunities for all CMS colleagues.
This role involves leading and managing multiple projects that focus on developing, tracking, and enabling the CMS People Strategy and Plan, as well as shaping and implementing our Talent and L&D Strategies.
The successful candidate will be an effective communicator and leader, comfortable engaging across various grade levels, and experienced in creating innovative people-related products and approaches.
