Acting as a champion for change, you will support capability building using continuous improvement tools and techniques, alignment to the Government Online Skills Tool (GOST) and role model the use of appropriate standard change tools and templates to support standardisation and the consistent implementation and embedding of change to build the professionalisation of business change as a service.

Driven by your enthusiasm to provide excellent services through change and continuous improvement, you know that building and utilising effective trusted relationships and networks with stakeholders across HMCTS including Judiciary and peers and actively encouraging contributions, involvement, and feedback from a broad and diverse range of staff who will be affected by the change, to maintain an environment that engages, using their feedback and insight, is vital to drive changes and or improvements to the future design of the technology and/or business process.
