We’re supporting a public sector organisation with a short-term assignment focused on improving how key correspondence processes operate across a portfolio of work. This is not a traditional programme delivery role. Instead, you’ll take a step back, review how things are currently working, and help shape practical improvements that can be implemented quickly and effectively. The Opportunity You’ll be working across a range of workstreams, reviewing and refining end-to-end correspondence processes - including areas such as ministerial, parliamentary, and statutory communications. Alongside this, there is a strong focus on bringing greater structure and consistency to how programmes are set up and managed, including documentation, planning, and ways of working. Working closely with internal teams, you will: • Analyse existing processes and identify inefficiencies, • Map workflows and bring clarity to current ways of working, • Recommend practical, achievable improvements, • Support teams in getting initiatives up and running, • Introduce simple, effective structures (e.g. plans, documentation, milestones) This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity and making things work better. About You You’re likely to have experience in: • Programme, project, or business improvement roles, • Reviewing and improving end-to-end processes, • Creating structure in environments where things are still evolving, • Working independently and building credibility quickly You don’t need prior knowledge of the subject matter - the focus is on how you approach problems and drive improvement. Experience within the public sector or government environments would be helpful, but not essential. Additional Information • This is a temporary PAYE assignment only (no limited company or umbrella arrangements available), • Initial duration of 6 months, with potential for extension, • Hybrid working: 3 days onsite, 2 remote, • Immediate or short-notice availability preferred Why This Role? This is an opportunity to step into a programme environment, quickly understand what’s needed, and make a tangible difference by improving how work is structured, managed, and delivered.
