Job summary

The Civil Service must have the skills needed to support the delivery of the government's priorities. Training in the Civil Service needs to support the development of skills for 550,000 civil servants. It must support these civil servants in improving their performance in role as well as advancing their career development, whether they are in central policy roles, front line delivery, or any number of arms length bodies.

Government Skills was created in 2020 to improve the coherence and quality of learning and development in government through better training, knowledge and networks. Ministers have now asked us to make an ambitious Spending Review bid to transform the operating model for skills in government, delivered under The National School for Government and Public Services.

As part of this transformational change of delivering training, we are reviewing the balance between training procured externally and design and/or delivered internally in the civil service. We expect this balance to shift more towards in\-house design and/or delivery as we move away from the current approach of outsourcing to external training providers.

The Learning Infrastructure Team is responsible for three enabling workstreams under the National School of Government and Public Services Portfolio. Between them, these workstreams cover the current, transitional and future infrastructure to support centralised training for Civil Servants.

The post\-holder will be within the team that is implementing the new in\-house commercial model as we move to a new way of delivering training. This role will lead all HR and employee transfer activity for procuring services to support internal training delivery, collaborating with current delivery partners to ensure a legally compliant and people\-centred transition.

Job description

• TUPE Leadership: Lead the end\-to\-end TUPE process for employee transfers associated with the new commercial model, ensuring compliance with TUPE regulations, relevant employment law, and Civil Service policies.

• Problem Resolution: Identify and resolve complex employment issues, working closely with legal, Pay \& Reward, Resourcing, and the wider People and Capability teams as needed.


• Capability Building: Deliver TUPE specialist learning and support to build knowledge and capability across a variety of specialisms and business areas impacted by the new operating model.
