Job summary:

Would you relish the chance to collaborate with senior leaders across the Department of Transport (DfT) and the rail industry?

Would you like to be part of a team that is focused on delivering excellence for UK rail passengers?


If so, we are looking for a Governance and Engagement Officer to join our team, and we would love to hear from you.


Job description:


This role sits within our Train Strategy and Operations Division, which is the home of expert analysis, advice and specialist support on rail industry operations.

This is an essential part of understanding how the rail industry is performing and whether it is delivering the service passengers deserve.


As Governance and Engagement Officer, you will play a key supporting role in the delivery of the Division's priorities by overseeing governance arrangements, and ensuring its work is adequately represented externally, by ministers and senior colleagues.

You will provide advice and information and will lead on Parliamentary and ministerial business related to performance and train service policy.


In this role, you will be responsible for delivering a wide range of products, from briefing documents to annual and biannual updates, Board papers and contributions to Parliamentary reports.

You will have the opportunity to work across the Department and with industry to understand the issues that affect the Division.

This will include the development of new contractual arrangements with operators, the management of crisis situations, the introduction of new timetables and the in-life management of the operational aspects of train franchises.


This role provides a great opportunity for exposure whilst working with senior leaders and to develop insight and knowledge about the rail industry.

  • Leading on briefings for ministerial and senior meetings and events, a significant amount of Parliamentary and Ministerial business, and participating in briefings as necessary.
  • Overseeing governance arrangements for the Division, including risk management.
  • Overseeing engagement on performance and train service policy and leading the team's engagement with the communications and press offices, seeking to capitalise on opportunities to promote a unified performance narrative.
  • Maintaining the policy bank, a repository of documents that explain how performance and train service policy is set.
  • Providing central support such as monitoring the work streams in which the Division is involved, coordinating learning activities or leading divisional recruitment campaigns when required.

Person specification:

About you:


You will have excellent interpersonal skills to confidently build trusted relationships with specialist advisors and senior leaders across the Department and industry.

You will have excellent communication and drafting skills to produce high-quality, succinct documents and Ministerial briefings, and participate in meetings when required.


You will be a team player and very organised, with the capability to coordinate multiple work streams and deliver results to tight deadlines.


You will display a high level of attention to detail, be comfortable working with technical data and be proficient working with IT systems.
