Job summary:


  • DLUHC is seeking exceptional people to help us transform into an agile, usercentered digital organisation. We're already doing amazing things. We're moving away from our large, legacy IT contracts, bringing more people with digital skills in house and delivering modern IT and collaboration tools. The Local Digital Declaration, delivered by our Local Digital Collaboration Unit and written in association with Local Authorities and the Government Digital Service (GDS), will be the catalyst for change across the country.
    Job description:We're looking for someone to join our team who will lead the triage of new proposals for digital work and partner with policy teams to assure ongoing work. We expect you'll be working with colleagues from around the department to consider policy challenges and advise on how digital can help deliver solutions. You'll also help us prioritize our work to decide which problems we should tackle first.


  • Responsibilities

  • Work with other members of the Digital team to provide advice and procurement expertise to teams who are embarking on digital or usercentred pieces of work.
  • Support the rollout of official interventions to increase staff members' digital capability, and possibly take the role of a UCD expert in those interventions.
  • Build relationships with the Policy Profession, the UCPD network, the Central Digital and Data Office, the Government Digital Service (GDS) and others to further the crossgovernment interest and momentum around UCD and digital capability.
  • Assure services in line with Cabinet Office Spend Controls, providing advice and assurance to teams within the department and our arms length bodies
  • Be known as a helpful and friendly face around the Department, raising your profile and that of UCD through blogs, attending other teams' meetings, etc.
  • Take the initiative to promote the Directorate's work and help colleagues resolve process or IT issues when these arise.
  • Help keep the department's Digital Pipeline up to date and support colleagues to maintain an accurate record of our digital spend.
  • Help organise Service Standard Assessments, recruit and train assessors and sit on panels as an assessor when required.
  • There may be a requirement to travel to other DLUHC offices for events.

Person specification:


  • We are looking for an individual with skills, experience and knowledge that maps against the key criteria we have detailed below:
  • A strong understanding of and enthusiasm for government digital aims and values, including agile ways of working and user-centred design
  • The ability to see how digital transformation fits into senior stakeholders' priorities and the current discourse about civil service reform. You will be able to demonstrate having furthered a narrative by aligning it to the goals and interests of your stakeholders
  • A confident communicator, able to demonstrate where you have championed the GDS values and philosophy to an audience that was less familiar with these ideas
  • The ability to work with and bring change to people from a variety of different backgrounds and professional cultures
  • Demonstrable understanding of the wider mission surrounding their work; you should have the ability to spot and act on spontaneous opportunities

Behaviours:

We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

  • Seeing the Big Picture
  • Changing and Improving
  • Making Effective Decisions
