Summary

Are you adept at managing competing projects and priorities? Passionate about leading teams to deliver their best? An efficient multi-tasker with outstanding stakeholder engagement skills? If the answer is yes, you could be exactly who we’re looking for to join our dynamic operational team.

We’re looking for a Senior Selection Exercise Manager to help us deliver high quality recruitment campaigns at pace.

With a new recruitment campaign launched every couple of weeks, and statutory responsibilities to make sure we select candidates on merit and through fair and open competition, it’s essential that our processes are robust, inclusive, and attractive to candidates from the widest possible backgrounds.

Our Senior Selection Exercise Managers play a pivotal role in helping us to achieve that. They lead our operational teams in scoping and running our selection exercises, from liaising with partners to launch the campaign, to overseeing the development and delivery of our shortlisting and selection materials, as well as ensuring our many and varied stakeholders are kept informed and engaged throughout our processes. While our HEO Selection Exercise Managers have day-to-day responsibility for running recruitment exercises, our SEO Senior Selection Exercise Managers have a vital strategic role in ensuring that their teams deliver efficient, consistent, and high-quality exercises. It’s a challenging, dynamic, and fast-paced role that sits at the centre of our work to recruit the very best judicial office holders of the future.

  • Overseeing the delivery of several JAC recruitment exercises from concept to delivery and making final recommendations.

  • Completing exercise reporting information and budgetary management
  • Act as a role model for immediate team and colleagues across the JAC

Essential Criteria

  • Strong project management skills
  • Excellent organisational skills including the ability to prioritise effectively, deliver on time and provide high quality customer service.
  • Strong stakeholder engagement skills with experience of engaging and communicating with senior stakeholders (equivalent to Director and above within the civil service, Chief Executive and Board Chair in other sectors).
  • Excellent attention to detail in drafting, planning and delivery.
  • Strong communication skills (verbal and written) and the ability to adapt your communications approach for different audiences.
  • A good understanding of how operational delivery, quality assurance, governance and policy are co-dependent functions in a delivery organisation.
  • The ability to quickly learn to use unfamiliar software to a good standard, with appropriate training

Desirable skills

  • Previous experience of working in a fast-paced operational role or relevant transferrable experience.
  • Previous line management experience

What we can offer you

We offer a range of benefits including an attractive annual leave allowance, flexible and hybrid working opportunities, and choice of pension schemes. We actively encourage all staff to undertake learning and development as part of their personal objectives.

While the JAC is an independent executive non-departmental public body, we are considered an arms-length body of the Ministry of Justice and share many of the same policies, processes and terms and conditions as Civil Servants employed directly by the MoJ. This includes being part of the MoJ pay remit, enabling transferees from other government departments to retain their continuity of service and Civil Service Pension arrangements.

Though located at Clive House, Petty France, London, SW1H 9AJ JAC staff are currently working in a hybrid way with some days in the office and some days working remotely. It will be necessary for the successful postholder to work at the JAC location regularly to support business need.
