Lead Technical Solution Architect

Alexander Mann Solutions - Public Sector Resourcing • ATS • Birmingham, Not Specified, United Kingdom • 12h ago

On behalf of DWP, we are looking for a Lead Technical Solution Architect for a 12 Month (Inside IR35) hybrid contract based 3 days per week in Birmingham, Manchester, Leeds, Sheffield, Newcastle or Blackpool

Required to support Care Services Team within Digital Modernisation and Efficiency. The Care Service is a key part of DWP's transformation work and a priority of the Service Modernisation Programme. The goal is to modernise three of DWP's benefit lines (AA, CA and DLAC) in accordance with DWP's single business delivery model. The outcomes align with DWP's 2030 strategy and include efficiencies, better customer service and more interoperability between DWP services

The Care Service programme is a strategic transformation initiative aimed at simplifying and unifying benefit-related services into a single, user-centred model. It operates within a complex ecosystem of Legacy systems, evolving policy frameworks, and cross-cutting digital platforms such as Customer Account and Colleague View.

Architects are critical to this transformation, ensuring that technical solutions are scalable, secure, and aligned with both user needs and policy intent.

Initially focused on the core benefit system, but with an eye on downstream analytics.

Our initial focus will be around the operational source system of the Care Service:
. the data model to support the service
. understanding data quality standards that need to be applied
. creating a metadata capability

Answering questions such as:
. how can we interface with Legacy untrusted data?
. How can we minimise the manual processing of data and impact on agents?
. How can we verify information via other government departments and third parties?
. Ensuring we have trusted, accessible data that is furnished with metadata so that it is more automatically reusable, and where decisions could be made upon the data.
. Ensuring data can support potential AI initiatives
. Creating architectures to support rapidly testing the core risks and assumptions of the service
. Creating architectures and associated work product to support the overall service and governance processes
. Defining the capabilities required to support the service, and associated technology options

You will work on:
. Application architecture
. Integration architecture (DWP services, third parties)
. Security architecture (compliance, encryption)
. Infrastructure architecture (AWS hosting design)
. Governance decks and processes

Key Skills:
. experience of Government Dept Services and Architecture with an AWS tech stack

Please be aware that this role can only be worked within the UK and not Overseas.
