DWP. Digital with Purpose.
Can you take DWP Digital's thinking on talent and development to the next level?
We're launching an exciting opportunity to join us as a Talent & Development Manager.
We're looking for applications from people who are passionate about developing capability and building talent. You will need the skill, personality and experience to drive forward our ambitious talent agenda, as we power up the teams and people that are delivering a once-in-a-generation digital transformation.

You will be part of a friendly and supportive Capability and Talent Development team. We make sure DWP Digital attracts, retains and develops brilliant people from all backgrounds, generalist and technical, from the most junior roles to the most senior.
We put the right plans in place for DWP Digital - from careers pathways to talent pipelines, development schemes and leadership training - to help build healthy, inclusive and highly-skilled teams who can get the job done.
Louise recently got a promotion, having been smashing it in this role since 2020. She says:
"Working as a Digital Capability Manager has been a great start to my Civil Service career.
"Partnering with a variety of senior stakeholders has been a great way to get to know people in the department, and I've really be able to bring my own ideas on how to boost digital talent in DWP.

You'll give options and advice to drive the right solution at the right time. That could be recruiting trainees, running events and workshops, sourcing a new supplier or creating communications and guidance for our people.
You'll draw energy and inspiration from working closely with and positively influencing your stakeholders. It won't always be easy - there will be some hearts to win, and minds to change - but the scope for you to innovate, collaborate and create is huge.

Experience of working within a Digital or Technology environment is desirable, but don't let it put you off if you've worked in a different context.Details. Wages. Perks.
You'll join us in your choice of our two North West hubs, in either Blackpool or Manchester.
We also have all the tools and tech we need to enable our people to work flexibly, and many of us are working remotely at the moment due to COVID-19.
