Job description

About the role

This is a new role in the organisation bringing together arrangements for managing whistleblowing, complaints, HR-related matters, and counter fraud issues for triage. The Investigations, Whistleblowing and Complaints Senior Manager will be expected to support and champion the implementation of a new approach and new ways of working to provide a joined-up investigations service for UKRI.

The Investigations, Whistleblowing and Complaints Senior Manager will work with the lead and the Investigators to triage concerns that come into UKRI to the right team for action, as well as ensuring that UKRI operates in line with best practice to develop, maintain and deliver a complaints and whistleblowing function covering a range of internal and external mechanisms for raising concerns.

The role will involve triaging concerns that come into UKRI from within and outside of the organisation against UKRI policies and process and provide advice on their handling. The role will ensure that complaints and whistleblowing are responded to in a timely way and will work in partnership with colleagues across UKRI to achieve this. The Investigations, Whistleblowing and Complaints Senior Manager will also work closely with a small number of third-party providers that will be used to undertake specialist investigation work.

The Investigations, Whistleblowing and Complaints Senior Manager will have sound experience of leading and managing the handling of concerns. They will triage concerns received into UKRI and apply judgement to recommend the action, in line with UKRI policies, that will most likely resolve the situation to the satisfaction of the complainant. The Investigations, Whistleblowing and Complaints Senior Manager will undertake work with a wide range of stakeholders to ensure that timely and appropriate actions are taken on the concerns and will be in contact with those raising concerns in a sensitive and supportive way.

You will need business awareness with the ability to understand and analyse complex information to assess and manage risk; provide evidence-based opinions to help enforce the policies and standards of UKRI and occasionally be required to undertake workplace investigations within UKRI in line with standards set by the Parliamentary and Health Services Ombudsman and guidance of the Advisory, Conciliation and Arbitration Service (ACAS).
