Overview
This role is part of DCMSs resourcing team, which is part of the People and Workplace (P&W) directorate. P&W is made up of the departments people team, which encompasses all of our HR functions, alongside colleagues working in security and property/workplace services. It is an exciting time to join DCMS HR. We have recently launched a People Strategy which sets the direction of our work for the years ahead, and there is lots to do. This role is one of three team leader roles within our resourcing team. Our remit has recently expanded, and we are looking for a team leader to join us who is up for the challenge of helping us to navigate and embed an increased set of responsibilities.
Responsibilities
* Recruitment – leading resourcing business partners and coordinators to fill roles from entry to executive (SCS) level.
* Exit management & redeployment – developing a centre of expertise and redesigning the redeployment approach to serve organisational workforce goals.
* Executive (SCS) performance & talent – running a comprehensive programme of performance and talent activity for leaders across the department.
* Resourcing policy – owning the suite of resourcing policies, including the recruitment process, expressions of interest, secondments, visa sponsorship and ensuring they are fit for purpose and aligned to organisational strategy.
* Resourcing strategy – designing and shaping the delivery of the new HR and finance platform in close collaboration with cross‑government stakeholders and the Matrix programme team.
* Diversity & inclusion – building a more representative department by collaborating with the D&I team, testing initiatives such as interview question sharing, and supporting application & interview preparation for applicants.
* Leadership – providing day‑to‑day leadership across the team (resourcing business partners, coordinators and the policy manager), advising on cases, managing escalations and covering for colleagues on leave.
On all of these, much of the work involves interaction with stakeholders at the highest levels of the department – including our directors, Chief People Officer, Directors General, and the Permanent Secretary. The post-holder will need to be comfortable presenting their work and representing the team in front of these audiences. The role also offers the opportunity to co‑manage the resourcing budget and to task managers who support the policy manager.
