Job summary

Established in April 2016, the Defence Nuclear Organisation (DNO) was set up to coordinate all aspects of nuclear business within the Ministry of Defence (MOD); responsible for all submarines (from buying them through to disposal when they reach the end of their life), nuclear warheads, skills, related infrastructure and day-to-day nuclear policy.

Delivering the Continuous at Sea Deterrent (CASD) is Defence’s top priority. We need a capable and credible nuclear deterrent to successfully deter the most extreme threats to our national security and way of life. The Defence Nuclear Enterprise (DNE) consists of all the organisations that support the nuclear deterrent including civilian (Civil Service), military (Navy), and supplier areas, and covers people, equipment, and infrastructure.

Critical to this mission is being able to attract the brightest and best possible people to the DNE and to encourage them to stay and develop their career within the Enterprise. That’s where the DNE People and Skills Transformation Team comes in; we are a high-reaching team working on modern solutions to set the conditions for an agile, motivated, well-resourced and skilled workforce.

The DNE People and Skills Transformation Programme leads a suite of projects spanning outreach, employee value proposition, early careers entry routes, strategic workforce planning, skills taxonomy development and current workforce upskilling.

The position is based at Abbey Wood in Bristol with a strong hybrid working policy. There is an expectation that you will attend Abbey Wood approximately once per month for pre-arranged team meetings as a minimum.

This position is advertised at 17.8 hours per week.
