SEO - Head of Publications Teams, Judicial College

Overview:

The role would suit a leader with experience in producing and managing publications, continuous improvement and managing a complex stakeholder group.

The Judicial College
Judicial College is part of the JO, an arm's-length body of the MoJ.

The JO is a unique branch of the Civil Service, independent from Government, dedicated to supporting the judiciary and promoting judicial independence, to maintain confidence in the rule of law.

The JO reports to, and is accountable to, the Lady Chief Justice and was set up in 2006 to provide support to her and to the wider judiciary following the Constitutional Reform Act 2005.

In addition, we support, and are accountable to, the Senior President of Tribunals, whose responsibilities extend to Scotland and Northern Ireland.

We support some 22,000 judicial office holders, providing policy, legal and handling advice and operational support.

The principal role of Judicial College is to support the Lady Chief Justice and the Senior President of Tribunals in fulfilling their responsibilities for the arrangements for training the judiciary in an ever-evolving justice system.

Working with the College Board, the Judicial College supports these senior members of the judiciary in setting the direction for training and ensuring the College has the right support in place to provide advice on the design and delivery of training, innovative digital systems to support delivery and that seminars are well organised.

Our purpose is to strengthen the rule of law and improve the administration of justice through delivery of essential training for the judiciary in courts and tribunals, as well as a framework of training for magistrates.

The College is looking to recruit a self-motivated, enthusiastic leader with strong publications experience. Experience in continuous improvement and managing stakeholder groups to deliver a service will be advantageous. The Publications team is currently based over two sites - London and Leeds. The post-holder can be based at either office.

Overview of the role:

Reporting to the G7 team leader, you will be responsible for leading your team in overseeing the governance of College publications, and working with content creators and authors on drafts and manuscripts ahead of production, throughout the production process through to final publication.

You will work with a wide range of stakeholders, including the judiciary, professional experts, communications teams and College staff.

You will work closely with our Digital Training and Content Strategy teams who lead on the preparation, presentation and accessibility of e-learning materials and other online resources for the College's digital learning.

You will also work closely with College colleagues on the publication of an annual training prospectus.

You will help design College communications and provide advice on how best to use publications channels to promote the College's work and products.

As Publications Team Manager you will:

Plan and oversee the Publications Team schedule of work ensuring that resources are in place to deliver against current and future activities.
Oversee the project management of individual publications, ensuring clear terms of engagement are in place and publications are delivered ontime, reporting to senior management on issues and risks.
Design and develop new business processes and consistency of approach for servicing the increased demand for publications support and services, leading implementation of change across the team and stakeholder groups and evaluating performance.
Work with the Strategy, Governance and Change and Content Strategy teams to maintain a clear governance structure for managing College publications.
Establish working relationships with key stakeholders (judiciary, senior officials, communications team) to identify links to priority areas of work or policies on the horizon that may result in work for your team, or where your team might add value.
Work with the Judicial Office Communications team and publications experts across the Justice family to share best practice.
Use excellent writing and editing skills to help authors express their ideas clearly, concisely and creatively, and help design a suitable narrative for their work.
