Location: Addlestone
Job Description:

We’re supporting a public sector organisation with a short-term assignment focused on improving how key correspondence processes operate across a portfolio of work.

This is not a traditional programme delivery role. Instead, you’ll take a step back, review how things are currently working, and help shape practical improvements that can be implemented quickly and effectively.

The Opportunity

You’ll be working across a range of workstreams, reviewing and refining end-to-end correspondence processes – including areas such as ministerial, parliamentary, and statutory communications.

Alongside this, there is a strong focus on bringing greater structure and consistency to how programmes are set up and managed, including documentation, planning, and ways of working.

Working closely with internal teams, you will:

  • Analyse existing processes and identify inefficiencies
  • Map workflows and bring clarity to current ways of working
  • Recommend practical, achievable improvements
  • Support teams in getting initiatives up and running
  • Introduce simple, effective structures (e.g. plans, documentation, milestones)

This is a hands-on role suited to someone who enjoys bringing order to complexity and making things work better.

About You

You’re likely to have experience in:

  • Programme, project, or business improvement roles
  • Reviewing and improving end-to-end processes
  • Creating structure in environments where things are still evolving
  • Working independently and building credibility quickly

You don’t need prior knowledge of the subject matter – the focus is on how you approach problems and drive improvement.

Experience within the public sector or government environments would be helpful, but not essential.

Additional Information

  • This is a temporary PAYE assignment only (no limited company or umbrella arrangements available)
  • Initial duration of 6 months, with potential for extension
  • Hybrid working: 3 days onsite, 2 remote
  • Immediate or short-notice availability preferred

Why This Role?

This is an opportunity to step into a programme environment, quickly understand what’s needed, and make a tangible difference by improving how work is structured, managed, and delivered.
