Background
It is an extremely exciting time here at HM Courts and Tribunals Service. We have been undertaking a change programme aimed at delivering pioneering judicial services that better serve the public.
As part of the Strategy and Change Directorate, you will be at the forefront of facilitating and implementing change in our world-leading justice system. As services are reformed, you’ll be part of their transition into Digital and Technology Services, supporting service owners to continuously improve our services based on research, insight and best practice. It’s an exciting opportunity to influence ways of working from a performance perspective.
Can you deliver in a fast-paced environment that is changing constantly? Do you have broad relevant experience of user-centred design, using user research and insight to shape the way people interact with services? Can you help develop others to do the same? If so, please read on and apply. We’re particularly keen to hear from people in under-represented groups.
This Programme is one of the largest across Government and you will gain a deep understanding of how a large complex portfolio operates as well as develop a broad range of effective business skills. Your development will be supported throughout with coaching and mentoring from senior professionals across the Directorate, and you also can attain relevant professional qualifications/certifications.
