Vacancy detail

We’re looking for an experienced project controller to join our team to assist the programme manager with initiating the Nexus Reserves career management project, whilst leaning in to provide coherency and development on 3 other reserve change management programmes. This is a short-term (9 month*) remote working opportunity on mobilised TCoS to deliver additional support within the DACOS Reserves (Delivery and Policy) area.
We’re looking for someone with direct knowledge of the RAF Reserves, with drive and passion to get things done. You’ll need to assimilate information quickly, determine courses of action and be prepared to represent DACOS Res (Del & Pol) as her SME. Although in a support role, we’ll expect you to lead when needed and be comfortable with working on your own and as part of a wider team to deliver the project on time and budget. The role is remote working based, with occasional attendance at RAF High Wycombe to attend key meetings.
For serving personnel last three appraisals and interview, for ex-service, last three appraisals, CV and interview.  

The primary requirement is to provide complimentary support to the programme manager on the NEXUS Reserves Career management project, from initial scoping, to determining resource requirements, developing processes and policy ahead of handing the project over to a delivery team. Additionally, we will need you to lean into 3 other change management programmes; Astra Reserve Optimisation, Reserve Professions and Digitisation to support delivery of the reserves narrative in developing and driving these programmes forward.

You’ll work collegiately with the programme manager to maintain coherency with the core and secondary programmes and working with the cross-functional teams within the HQ. The role offers a rare opportunity to directly shape the future outlook of HR support to the RAF reserves.

The Project.   The NEXUS Reserves career management project looks at how we can bring effective through life career management to the Reserves (from Part-time Volunteer Reserve to Full Time Reserve Service) akin to the HR management the regulars receive.

The DACOS Reserves (Delivery and Policy) team comprises around 40 full and part time staff supporting 3 reserve areas; Mobilisation, Reserve Support (HR) and Reserve Employer Engagement. The teams are based across the UK, employing hybrid working methods to deliver big effects.
