**Job summary**:
In Navy Command, our Civil Servants work alongside their military colleagues in jobs that matter; jobs which often have a direct impact on the quality of the operational capabilities we deliver.

Roles can offer great job satisfaction and there are many opportunities to develop and progress both within the Ministry of Defence and across the wider Civil Service.

The Submarine Directorate in Navy Command is responsible for all submarine in service capability and availability, including oversight of the Submarine Flotilla and Clyde Naval Base.

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.

**Job description**:
The Continuous Improvement Team sits within the Transitions, Technical Support and Continuous Improvement Unit within the Senior Civil Servant 1* (SCS1*) led Change Group in the Submarine Directorate.

The postholder will support the Continuous Improvement Manager and the wider team who will be based in His Majesty's Naval Base (HMNB) Clyde, NCHQ Portsmouth and HMNB Devonport.

The postholder will be the ‘hub’ of the team, ensuring that mechanisms are in place to prioritise and assign work, monitor performance and outcomes, coordinate attendance at site-based engagement and identify and promote learning and development opportunities. They will also have the opportunity to support wider team improvement activity.

The postholder will have regular interactions across the whole Directorate and beyond, at all levels and will therefore require outstanding communication skills and an ability to operate seamlessly across military, civilian, and industrial partner engagements.

This can be discussed further at interview. There will also be an expectation for regular travel to NCHQ Portsmouth and Devonport Naval Base, with overnight stays expected.

This job role may also be suitable for hybrid working, which is an informal, non-contractual and voluntary arrangement, blending a balance of attendance in the workplace (which is based on business assessment of where work is best done) and working from home as a personal choice. If you are successful, any opportunities for hybrid working will be discussed with you prior to you taking up your post.

**Person specification**:
**Experience**:

- Experience of producing and maintaining systems to manage team workloads.
- Experience of designing and maintaining systems to monitor performance and outcomes for a service or discrete operation.
- Experience of providing secretariat support to team meetings or formal governance.
- Experience of organising events or meetings.

Desirable

- Leadership
- Changing and Improving
- Managing a Quality Service
