3. What you’ll do

The Agile Programme provides high-quality and insightful analysis for the delivery of Secretary of State priorities. Analysts in the team deliver short-term projects or resource cover across the breadth of the department’s remit, including courts, prisons, probation and corporate functions. The portfolio of work delivered within the team changes three-four times a year. We are recruiting for HEO/SEOs to support delivery of projects within the Agile programme, joining the current team of c.20 analysts.

As part of this role, you'll have the opportunity to contribute to a varied work programme, tackling high-priority projects in a fast-paced, supportive environment. You’ll deliver both project-based and cover roles across the department’s analytical priorities. This role offers an excellent development opportunity – you’ll have the chance to broaden your skills through varied workstreams and projects.

You’ll contribute to maintaining our successful quarterly commissioning cycle and be involved in ‘horizon-scanning’ for future projects. You'll also play a key role in supporting Business-as-Usual (BAU) teams, taking on cross-cutting projects, and tackling priority tasks that currently lack a dedicated team. At SEO, you will take ownership of analytical projects to set the direction of the analysis, track progress against delivery, and build effective working relationships with stakeholders.

This is an ideal opportunity for anyone looking to thrive in a dynamic environment, contribute to high-impact projects, and develop a broad range of skills. Join us and be part of a team that is making a real difference.

The nature of this role means the post holder could work across a wide range of impactful projects; recent examples include enacting the recommendations from the Sentencing Review and Independent Review of Criminal Courts.

Below are examples of work the post holder would oversee:

• Scoping and carrying out a range of complex analysis across the justice system; for example, seeking to understand the cause of changes in demand for justice services.

• Maximising opportunities to actively promote, use and communicate findings with impact to influence decisions, for example presenting findings to customers or the broader analytical community.

• Applying a range of data analysis or modelling tools and techniques and ensuring appropriate quality assurance of analysis. Tools and techniques used by the existing mixed-profession team include R, Python, econometrics, stock and flow modelling, statistical tests and more. There will be opportunities to learn new techniques in the role.

• Working on analytical projects with a wide range of stakeholders, e.g. operational staff, policy and analytical teams, ministers; delivering across competing demands and driving improvements to ensure that the analysis adds maximum value.
