- Overseeing the Department’s professional finance training programme, working closely with DBT Human Resources (HR) to support apprentices and other trainees to gain a qualification.
- Overseeing the Finance Fast Stream within DBT, helping to boost talent management by ensuring Fast Streamers are deployed to roles that promote their development while make the best use of their knowledge and skills.
- Acting as DBT’s key point of contact for the Government Finance Function’s cross-government Finance capability initiatives and acting as GFF advocate, feeding views to/from Finance and promoting cross government products and resources, such as the GFF career framework and skills capture tool.
- Putting in place mechanisms internally to promote and enable colleagues’ self-development, including establishing governance arrangements and lines of accountability to ensure that individuals are able to access the right learning and development at the right time.
