Job summary
Welcome and thank you for your interest in joining us in our mission to make a positive impact on the national justice system through cutting edge commercial solutions. The Ministry of Justice (MoJ) is a major government department at the heart of our national justice system, employing over 90,000 colleagues. Responsible for the country�s courts (HMCTS), prisons and probation services (HMPPS), we work to protect and enhance the principles of justice. Never has there been a more exciting time to join us.��
As one of the most heavily outsourced departments in Whitehall, MoJ is at the heart of the Government�s recent manifesto commitments.
The Commercial and Contract Management Directorate (CCMD) in MoJ employees ca. 650 professionals, manages over ca. 1800 active contracts and spends ca. �6bn a year with third party suppliers. It provides commercial, procurement and contract management activities across a wide range of categories, ensuring value for money agreements are in place for the wider MoJ to source goods and services. Together the leadership has set a vision for CCMD �to be the Government�s best commercial team enabling world class justice�.�
Within the Rehabilitation in Custody Services division, we are focused on supporting the Department to deliver better outcomes, reduce reoffending and deliver value for money. I joined CCMD a year ago and have set a clear mission for my division �To reduce re-offending through commercial leadership, collaboration and innovation�. This mission was developed through a joint session with my divisional teams and supports the CCMD vision. I am personally motivated by delivering positive social outcomes at a national scale whilst challenging established ways of working to drive commercial innovation.��
This is an exciting opportunity to gain experience in a frontline service area which is high on the Ministerial agenda and a critical service within HMPPS. You may already be operating at senior level in the private sector and are looking for a change in sector, to drive the national agenda at scale, with the new Government�s focus on MoJ�s role within society. Perhaps you want to try a new category whilst developing your leadership and strategic commercial management skills. You could also already be operating as an experienced commercial lead in another Government department and are ready to take the next step into leadership in a ground-breaking frontline operational area and to widen your experience.
