Programme Improvement Manager; Interim

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.

You’ll be working across a range of work streams, 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.

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 with in the public sector or government environments would be helpful, but not essential.

• 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

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.
