The Challenge

NHS Digital are the national transformation and technology partner to the UK health and social care system. Working at pace, NHS Digital wished to respond to shifting skills & capability demands upon them by significantly reshaping & uplifting the skills required for a number of core roles across the organisations in advance of a significant organisational restructure.

Our Approach

Working in close collaboration with the senior HR team we achieved the following:

  • A significant data cleanse activity to quantify the number of in scope roles and subsequent job descriptions.
  • A comprehensive and central process for co-ordinating job description rewrite & sign-off of new job descriptions.
  • Identification and prioritisation of key roles requiring uplift & rewrite, which required engagement with 51 key senior business stakeholders to gather required inputs & subsequent sign-off.
  • Completion of a standard set of leadership competencies and leadership assessment framework to input into the revised job descriptions.
  • All required stakeholder management and comms activity to co-ordinate this activity at pace across multiple business units and directorates.

 

Key Outcomes

  • A revised set of 69 job descriptions for roles that were either entirely new or had significantly changed, demonstrating a clear articulation of what had changed
  • Provided a clear, robust & replicable process for all future required job descriptions
  • A set of standardised leadership competencies around which to align future selection and performance management assessment
