**Job summary**:
In DHSC, we are proud of our purpose - to enable everyone to live more independent, healthier lives for longer. To achieve this, and create a great place to work, we have four values: we are inclusive, we constantly improve, we challenge, and we are agile. If this sounds like an environment you’d like to work in, we’d love to hear from you.

The NHS Pay, Employment Services and Industrial Relations Directorate is responsible for policy on national pay and contracts for over a million NHS staff, as well as leading the government response to strikes within the NHS.

It is a high profile, stretching area of work which provides an excellent opportunity to work closely with Ministers, senior officials and a wide range of internal and external stakeholders.

**Job description**:
The post holder's primary focus will be on leading pay policy for Very Senior Managers within the NHS, as well as managing the case work related to this staff group. This is a complex and interesting policy area that seeks to balance the need to recruit talented senior leaders into the system, particularly in challenging areas, whilst providing value for money for the tax payer.

The post holder will also be responsible for supporting one of the Senior Policy Managers in the pay team with the annual pay review process for Very Senior Managers. This process is the established mechanism for determining pay uplifts in the public sector.

In addition, they will also be responsible for driving forward a programme of reform around the pay review process, ensuring that it runs as effectively as possible with the trust of all key stakeholders, particularly trade unions.

**Person specification**:
**The postholder will**:

- Lead the development of written and oral evidence packs for the Senior Salaries Review Body (SSRB), commissioning input from relevant teams
- Own and develop the policy relating to Very Senior Managers (VSM)
- Lead on development of the new VSM pay framework and work with key partners to publish and implement it
- Manage the process around VSM casework whereby senior salary proposals are submitted to the department for review/agreement
- Manage a virtual team to support on routine casework whilst taking ownership of non-routine cases
- Develop positive relationships with key stakeholders both internal and across government, including leading on the relationship with the secretariat to the SSRB
- Manage the policy design and implementation process of non-pay elements of the 2022 AfC pay deal, specifically focused on a review of the pay setting process

**Key skills and experience required for the role**:

- Working with both internal and external stakeholders
- Policy development

They should be able to demonstrate the following skills:

- Excellent verbal and written communication skills
- Ability to work at pace, and react to competing priorities while also motivating others to meet deadlines
- Strong organisation and the ability to plan complex processes and keep them on track, including ensuring others deliver in a timely fashion
- Strong interpersonal skills and ability to rapidly build constructive relationships
- Ability to understand complex problems and their wider context, developing policy options that analyse and use evidence from different sources, and then communicate those options with confidence and clarity
- Ability to horizon scan, remaining aware of potential upcoming risks in their area and proactively seeking to resolve them

Our suggestions for writing these examples is that they should:

- clearly demonstrate the behaviour and the details that underpin it
- allow you to explain in some detail what you personally did
- have had positive results, or allow you to demonstrate the lessons learned and how you would ensure such errors would be avoided in future
- use the STAR model (Situation, Task, Action, Result) as this will best help you present your evidence.

**Behaviours**:
We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

- Communicating and Influencing
- Delivering at Pace
- Seeing the B
