- Being accountable for the development of the definition of what customer service means to us by capturing and articulating what level of service we will provide our diverse customer base.
- Using existing customer insight and leverage work already undertaken by third party suppliers to influence what HMCTS should be measuring in order to capture what is important to our customers and to drive the right employee behaviours. Identify how we are performing against these expectations and design interventions to drive forward the customer plan
- Collating and effectively communicating how we perform against our customer vision utilising our customer insight function as appropriate
- Working collaboratively with the CSC, local and national tier projects as well as the cross cutting enabling projects to understand and influence the desired end state customer experience to drive forward the customer plan.
- Being responsible for attending key stakeholder meetings and effectively managing stakeholders for the Strategy and Capability team.
To be successful in this role, you will need to demonstrate the following:
- An established track record in programme/project delivery specialising in customer experience
- Excellent stakeholder management skills
- Ability to work in partnership with third party suppliers
- Experience of working within a complex organisation to identify priorities which improve customer outcomes
As part of the application process, the system will ask you to provide an “overall statement”. Here, we’re looking for you to demonstrate your experience relevant to the role.
This is an exciting opportunity to work on a Programme that will genuinely have a fundamental impact on the way we undertake justice in our country.
