Job summary:

Do you want a career where you can make a real difference to people's lives?

Do you want to work in a government department where you can help to shape and deliver government's objectives?


In Department of Health and Social Care (DHSC), we are proud of our purpose which is to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer.

To achieve this and create a great place to work, we have four values:
we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. Our work is varied, interesting and most importantly its impactful. If this sounds like an environment you would like to work in, we'd love to hear from you.


The Adult Social Care (ASC) Group in DHSC leads on all matters relating to adult social care in the department.

Putting social care on a sustainable footing, where everyone is treated with dignity and respect, is one of the biggest challenges that our society faces.

The role is in the Project Management Office (PMO) within the Data, Assurance and Support (DAS) Division, which oversees delivery of work to improve transparency and accountability in the ASC to drive improvements in quality and outcomes for people who draw on care and support.


You can find more information about this and the wider area of work in 'Next Steps to put People at the Heart of Care', and 'Care Data Matters'.


We are looking to recruit a Project Portfolio Management (PPM) professional to support governance across the division and to lead our response to a recent Government Internal Audit Agency (GIAA) report which looks specifically at arrangements and reporting for data projects.


Job description:


This is a fantastic opportunity to shape and grip wide-ranging development and implementation of changes to governance and reporting arrangements to ensure they are robust and meet established best practice.

This includes leading work to ensure (amongst other things) that programmes and projects are: suitably defined, including having proportionate and robust governance frameworks; have benefits and dependencies which are thoroughly mapped; have clear and deliverable roadmaps, project plans and critical paths; that progress against plans is effectively scrutinised and that risks and issues are effectively monitored and mitigated.


The post holder will therefore be expected to use their knowledge and experience to support setting the direction, and then communicate this effectively to mobilise colleagues behind shared goals and deadlines.

You will also need to support colleagues to understand PPM/governance requirements, encourage them to prioritise these and support and collaborate with them to ensure high quality outputs are created.

This is a priority area for SCS/SRO and you will be supported to have developmental exposure to senior figures when developing and agreeing plans and organising set-piece governance.

The role will suit somebody who is comfortable at working at pace and across boundaries to deliver required results.

Your normal place of work will be your contractual primary workplace, usually either London or Leeds. Within DHSC we offer non-contractual hybrid working.

The expectation at present is a minimum of 60% of your working time spent in the office, enabling in person interaction and collaboration and enhancing team working, learning, and support.


Opportunities for some working from home may be available; other flexible working options may be discussed with the hiring manager in line with individual circumstances and business need.


Person specification:


The post holder will be responsible for:

  • Supporting delivery of our GIAA response action plan, ensuring that agreed responses to recommendations are delivered to specified deadlines and in a manner which leads to robust, coherent, and comprehensive governance and reporting arrangements for the Data Transformation.
  • Support the improvement of existing governance and reporting arrangements for the DAS Programme, including working on a corresponding Governance Framework which takes account of the GIAA audit and reflects Government Func
