About the job

**Job summary**:
The uniformed civilians of the Royal Fleet Auxiliary (RFA) are professional qualified seafarers, trained and educated to recognised international maritime standards and deliver worldwide logistics and operational support to Royal Navy military operations. Fully integrated into front-line warships, the RFA is an essential element of how the Royal Navy operates with freedom around the globe. The RFA supports a wide spectrum of operations from high-tempo war fighting to counter piracy, disaster relief, counter narcotics, law enforcement and evacuation operations.

The People and Training Directorate within Navy Command Headquarters is responsible for attracting, recruiting, training, sustaining and retaining inspired, capable and motivated people in an agile and flexible Whole Force to enable the Royal Navy to succeed on operations by putting our people capability first. Our modern approach to the future workplace and our singular focus on improving the lived experience presents a unique opportunity to support, enable and empower the people of the Royal Navy to thrive, and unlock their potential as valued and respected individuals who operate to fight and win.

Our team is based within Navy Command Headquarters; the nerve centre of the Royal Navy providing the ships, people, aircraft and equipment to deliver the UK’s defence policy. Civil Servants and Armed Forces personnel work together across a wide range of interesting and challenging jobs in different disciplines.

This position is advertised at 37 hours per week.

**Job description**:
It's important we proactively support, manage and administer the myriad of events, circumstances and occurrences that influence, change and affect the professional and private lives of our international Seafarers. This is a busy and complex people role which includes taking responsibility as the core attendance case work manager for issues regarding attendance, wellbeing and standards ensuring that actions are conducted and recorded in accordance with policy and procedure.

You’ll lead with the framework and be the main point to further integrate and digitise our HR functions within the wider Personnel and Training (P&T) teams to enable the RFA to benefit from the full catalogue of CS HR interventions (like all other RN CS).

You will ensure timely and pragmatic resolution of case work to produce and respond to accurate resource and capability data, including forecasting and identifying/planning for any effect on the capability requirement, schedule, and process.

You’ll also work with Commanding Officers, our Career and Talent Team Leaders and our Career Managers to train and support them to understand and effectively undertake first line HR actions.

Additionally, you’ll be asked to make regular contact with other teams across P&T carrying out similar functions and seek out ways to improve, digitise, automate and integrate our HR admin processes within an agile Whole Force Royal Navy.

**Person specification**:
It is an exciting time to join our expanding, empowered, valued and invested RFA People Delivery Team within the headquarters of the Royal Navy. We are looking for someone interested in a busy People role that wants to be empowered to achieve outcomes within the policy. We are seeking a motivated, confident, autonomous team member with:

- Exceptional self-organisation and time management skills to prioritise and multi-task in a busy, complex team.
- A meticulous eye for detail
- Experience in professional use of O365 tools to collate, analyse and present data

We are looking for someone who is enthused to work with a degree of ambiguity as the team develops, and who is confident enough to speak up with ideas and challenges. This is a dynamic role within an environment where the people and capability priorities change regularly and so presents an excellent professional opportunity for a proactive, flexible problem solver.

This role can entail speaking with our team members and partner agencies as they navigate challenging, uncertain and difficult personal circumstances (for which training and support will be provided) and therefore we ask that applicants consider and self-assess their resilience and suitability for the position.

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

- Making Effective Decisions
- Communicating and Influencing
- Working Together
- Managing a Quality Servi
