Navy Command provides an open, flexible, and supportive work environment where Civil Servants and Armed Forces personnel collaborate in various roles across finance, legal services, project management, and media communications. The Fleet Information Operations Centre (FIOC) UK at RAF Digby exemplifies this collaborative atmosphere, offering 24/7 liaison and technical support to Royal Navy and other nations' warships deployed globally.
About the Role
The Battle Watch Director is a newly established day-working position within FIOC UK, overseeing the line management of civilians and Royal Navy personnel in the Battle Watch Team. As a key member of the operations team, you will coordinate with mission managers to ensure optimal support for deployed units. Key responsibilities include ensuring timely and accurate technical support to Royal Navy platforms, line managing a mix of MOD Civil Servants and Royal Navy Personnel, and providing daily continuity between the Battle Watch Team and FIOC UK operations team.
Requirements and Qualifications
This role requires previous managerial experience, good interpersonal skills, and a willingness to learn new tools and techniques. Previous experience in electromagnetic activities/electronic warfare is advantageous, but not essential. Daily management and interaction with Royal Navy personnel are also expected. This position involves working closely with military personnel and requires orientation, internal training, and mentorship to become fully established.
Benefits
In addition to a competitive salary of £28,300, Ministry of Defence contributes £8,198 towards your Defined Benefit Pension scheme membership. As a civil servant in Navy Command, you will be part of a forward-looking organisation with inclusive workplace policies, excellent career prospects, and a job that makes a difference. Benefits include 25 days paid annual leave rising to 30 days upon completion of 5 years' service, personal & professional development opportunities, alternative working patterns, access to a confidential support service, discount schemes, bicycle/season ticket loans, enhanced family and adoption leave, and special paid leave to volunteer up to 6 days per year.
