Are you able to interpret data to provide evidence-based insights, highlight trends, and inform strategic planning?
Have you got advanced Excel expertise?
If so, we would love to hear from you!
DfT is a high-profile department at the heart of UK government. We work with agencies and partners to support the transport network that helps businesses and gets people and goods travelling around the country. We plan and invest to make journeys better.
Workforce Planning ensures organisations have enough of the right skills and capabilities to deliver organisation priorities, both in the short and long term. At the heart of this is translating business strategy into a strategic workforce plan which identifies future workforce requirements and capability gaps, so that strategic resourcing solutions can be developed to address the gaps. Effective and timely workforce planning goes beyond forecasting headcount and can provide agile people solutions to complement the future direction of a business.
Joining our department comes with many benefits, including:
- Employer pension contribution of 28.97% of your salary. Read more about Civil Service Pensions here
- 25 days annual leave, increasing by 1 day each year of service (up to a maximum of 30 days annual leave), plus 8 bank holidays a privilege day for the King’s birthday
- Flexible working options where we encourage a great work-life balance.
