Job summary:


In DHSC, we are proud of our purpose - 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. If this sounds like an environment you'd like to work in, we'd love to hear from you.

We are pleased to offer a role in the Chief Data Officer's Directorate (CDO).

As a new directorate, you will be joining at an exciting time; leading the building of the function and in particular its culture, values and identity and help shape its mission and purpose.


The aim of CDO is to advance the safe, legal, and ethical use of data across the Department, in order to foster a data driven culture which enables better policy making across the government.

We seek to build partnerships and connections across the health and care family, to maximise the collation and sharing of data; building a collaborative and shared vision of how data is used, so that data is at the heart of decision making.


CDO is responsible for the management and transformation of a range of data products and services onto new infrastructure and support systems, changing the culture, process and systems to ensure they are modern, resilient and adaptable to meet a range of needs.


The projects and programmes are a mix of management and maintenance of existing services and products and a programme of transformation, The work is a mix of migration, transition, consolidation, adaption and transformation of existing data and digital products systems and processes.

We intend to both 'move and improve' the systems and processes that support our health intelligence and analysis provision.

We are recruiting to the post of Project and Transformation Lead.

The post holder will lead the delivery of one or more of the data services, providing wrap-around project governance ensuring robust plans are in place and delivered along with appropriate levels of risk management.


Job description:


The role is critical in the transformation and delivery of a range of data services to move and improve the Department's data and analytical products and processes, making them fit for the modern data and digital age.

This transformation is a significant piece of work in the CDO Portfolio.


You will have a strong record of project / digital delivery using different methodologies such as lean/agile/waterfall and be able to manage others (both via line management and within more informal teams) to plan and deliver complex pieces of work with a focus on data, technology and digital transformation.


You will be a confident communicator, used to explaining complex concepts to a range of audiences and maintaining stakeholder engagement across key groups, managing expectations and moderate discussions regarding risk and complexity within constrained timescales.


As an experienced planner, you can lead a continual planning process in complex environments, plan beyond product delivery and identify dependencies in plans across services and co-ordinate delivery.

You can also coach other teams and team members as a central point of expertise.


You will take responsibility for complex relationships with contracted suppliers, negotiating with them to get good value out of contracts and ensuring efficient delivery.


You will understand the environment and prioritise the most important or highest value tasks, using data to inform planning, manage complex internal and external dependencies and provide delivery confidence.


You will facilitate the delivery flow of a team, managing the pace and tempo, actively addressing internal and external risks, issues and dependencies including where ownership exists outside the team.


You will also identify and remove blockers or impediments to planned projects and can develop plans to address difficult scenarios.


Person specification:

You will report directly to the Head of Transformation and Ethics, and will:
