Job summary:

DWP is looking for an Enabling Services Lead to support work strands linking to Capability Based Pay (CBP) within DWP, a pioneering piece of work for Government.

This role is ideal for a colleague with experience in project and programme management, as well as a good understanding of HR, inclusion and stakeholder engagement.

This is a highly visible role working across DWP and will provide a fantastic opportunity for people who really enjoy the challenge of supporting complex change.

The role requires a high level of energy and drive and excellent stakeholder engagement as well as strategic thinking.

The role provides an exciting opportunity to establish CBP as a Programme of work, leading the activity of a support team to enable the robust, planning, coordination, and implementation of SCS CBP, design and development of delegated CBP, whilst linking into wider professional CBP plans.

The need for these posts has arisen given the commitment as part of the Declaration on Government Reform to introduce CBP progression in the SCS and DWP's ambition and strategy to roll this out for delegated grades during the upcoming Spending Review Period.

Drive greater consistency, engaging wider DWP and OGD stakeholders on the work of the team, driving improved collaboration, and building trustbased relationships with a wide range of demanding and diverse senior stakeholders
Establish and oversee the management of any CBP related governance meetings and forums needed
Provide people management and functional leadership across wider People Capability and Place teams
As a member of the PC&P Leadership Team, actively participate in the leadership and management of the HR Function.
