Details of Business Directorate Training Management Group (TMG) is the People & Training sub-directorate responsible for the management of Individual Training across the Royal Navy and Royal Marines. TMG is also responsible for the effective running of the Selborne Contract, under which Team Fisher delivers most courses. TMG is led by a 1* and made up of Regular and Reserve RN, RM and Civil Service personnel. We work alongside our Team Fisher colleagues (mainly Capita and Raytheon) on the same floor plate in West Battery at HMS EXCELLENT. You will need to forge strong working relationships with the various Training Requirements Authorities, Role Analysis team and Professions Managers as part of your remit. The shared vision is ‘Better trained warfighters to the frontline, faster’ which requires high levels of collaboration among all parties. Job Purpose - background and context You will join a dynamic group of Analysts employed by TMG in the Training Governance, Assurance, and Analytics (TGAA) team. TGAA is made up of Regular and Reserve RN and RM personnel, all of whom bring valuable service experience. The team is managed by an RN SO2. This team predominately conducts External Validation (ExVal) projects but also conducts wider evaluation activity as required. Analysts also handle the daily flow of ‘unsolicited’ feedback submitted to the Training Feedback App (TFA) on SCIO. All activity is supported by robust SOPs which are continuously optimised as the approach evolves to keep pace with the demands of modern training and changing operational context. This is underpinned by the Royal Navy’s Individual Training Evaluation Strategy (EStrat), which is owned by TGAA and found within Annex 95F to BR3(1). By working collaboratively with stakeholders, particularly the Training Requirements Authority (TRA) and Team Fisher, TGAA acts as a key intermediary to drive rapid continuous improvement of our training to support the Royal Navy to Lead, Fight and Win. General Tasks Evaluate Individual Training against the core question of the extent to which it prepares personnel for their specified Role. Integrate and analyse multiple data sources to triangulate findings, including InVal outputs, Team Fisher KPI data, TFA submissions, surveys and focus groups. Develop, articulate and track evidence-based recommendations to address identified issues and improve training effectiveness. Maintain robust information management practices and uphold data integrity in accordance with local SOPs. Develop and sustain an effective stakeholder network, including maintaining accurate and current stakeholder records. Prepare for, contribute to and attend meetings, both in-person and virtual, as required to support evaluation activity. Support ExVal prioritisation activity in line with team direction and evolving operational requirements.
