• To design, implement, manage and monitor reporting processes.
• To identify, manage and seek resolution to risks and issues.

• Detailed knowledge and understanding of appropriate Operating Models and Shared Services processes.

TECHNICAL REQUIREMENTS

• Professional understanding of complex organisational issues requiring an appropriate qualification and/or extensive professional/specialist knowledge and experience.

The job holder will be required to carry out the following responsibilities, activities and duties:

Responsible for leading a number of priority specifically focused projects (at any one time) involving a range of functions/activities, structures and key stakeholders. This includes:

• Responsibility for the successful delivery of (to required quality standards, timescales and within agreed resources) priority projects. This requires robust and effective planning and subsequent monitoring of plans as well as effective risk management, and will routinely involve reallocation of resources in supporting priority work.
• Responsible for researching, scoping and producing detailed project plans and an overarching Milestone Plan to support the delivery of HMPPS directorate Strategic Priorities.
• Responsible for the day-to-day management, monitoring and updating of the plans for the HMPPS directorate Executive SMT.
• Able to identify the critical path/s for any projects or work and provide solutions which could affect the achievement of any deliverables on the critical path.
• Responsible for the production of regular highlight reports for project, programme or Directorate Governance and to inform overarching reporting against business plans, to the HMPPS Executive SMT, and the HMPPS Director’s bi-laterals with the Chief Executive Officer when required.
• Responsible for anticipating issues and problems, and where necessary intervening (including taking responsibility for directly producing project deliverables) to prevent slippage or failure to meet key milestones.
• Required to understand and find solutions to complex and unclear problems often involving conflicting views and requirements, and which have no pre- defined solution.
• Able to be flexibly deployed on other priority projects or work areas (to contribute to or to trouble-shoot) where capability gaps or significant risks, issues or slippage is predicted or occurs, often at short notice and alongside existing priority deliverables.
• Required to work effectively with a range of other functions and colleagues and other internal and external stakeholders in order to progress activities and deliverables.
• Required to coordinate project resources and other functional experts to ensure plans are delivered to time and within cost and quality requirements.
• Required to consult and negotiate directly with Trade Union representatives at a national level on behalf of priority directorate projects. This involves the ability to build appropriate relationships with union representatives consistent with the HMPPS ER Leads.
• Responsible for representing HMPPS and MoJ at various internal and external directorate and broader change programme forums.

The job holder is expected to accept reasonable alterations and additional tasks of a similar level that may be necessary. Significant adjustments may require re-examination under the Job Evaluation Scheme and shall be discussed in the first instance with the job holder.
