**Job summary**:
It’s an exciting time for workforce planning and insights at the Department for Transport. As we head into a challenging new financial year, we need to continue to adapt and refine our workforce plans to ensure we are optimising the alignment of the Department’s workforce with key departmental priorities, alongside broader ambitions, such as growing our workforce in Birmingham and Leeds.

**Job description**:
This role is at the heart of understanding the interweaving, complex strands impacting on the Department for Transport’s workforce plans today and in the future, and setting out the narrative that helps senior leaders understand the changes that the Department needs to consider and their part in these.

We are looking for someone with a range of workforce planning experiences and expertise, from in-year workforce forecasting and reporting to longer term strategic workforce planning. Numeracy and technical capability in modelling is a core requirement, but as important is the ability to translate the data to insight and set out a compelling narrative that can be understood by stakeholders and lead to informed decisions and action. Someone who enjoys working with others and building relationship is essential as this role involves frequent interaction and engagement of stakeholders at all levels of the organisation.

- Leading on the in-year reporting of workforce against budget and the preparations for quarterly workforce reviews with senior stakeholders.
- Engaging with the Strategic Resourcing team and other HR colleagues to translate the workforce demand plan into a strategic workforce plan, including guidance on appropriate balances of build/buy or other options.
- Using scenario modelling to inform and develop longer term strategic workforce plans.
- Supporting HR Business Partners in the effective use of workforce plans within their business areas.
- Using internal and external data to understand trends and build insights in relation to the workforce to tell our workforce ‘story’ and using these to identify and describe workforce risks and issues.
- Working across the Department to build key working relationships with others, such as finance and strategy to achieve a coordinated and joined up approach to business planning and workforce planning.

For further information, please refer to the role profile attached.

**Person specification**:
We are looking for someone who has:

- The ability to interpret data to create and present evidence-based insight and recommendations in an engaging format.
- Experience of using a range of digital technology such as PowerBI and Excel to analyse and model workforce scenarios.
- Good planning, organisational and problem-solving skills.
- Ability to build and maintain effective relationships with stakeholders, internal and external.
- Experience of strategic workforce planning.
