Role background:

• Solirius is a digital transformation consultancy and predominantly work in the public sector.
• Solirius have won a new contract with MoJ that includes lots of project work relating to data improvements over the next two years
• This role would be working within the MoJ Data Directorate within a small team.

CJS Discovery Project background

The CJS Spine is a shared set of capabilities that will enable secure, efficient and trusted flows of data across the CJS. It provides the foundations that allow organisations to work together effectively and deliver a seamless end-to-end service, while continuing to operate their own systems.

The CJS Spine will provide:

• A single, trusted view of a person: a reliable way to recognise and link the same individual, whether they are defendants, offenders or victims, so the right information follows them through the system.
• Connected systems: the ability for systems across policing, courts, prisons, probation and victim services to exchange information securely, without relying on manual re-keying or local workarounds, so it's available at the point of need.
• High-quality, trusted data that stays that way: complete, consistent and up-to-date information that is not duplicated or lost as cases move across the system. Clear ownership and governance ensure data is created once, maintained properly, and trusted by those who rely on it.
• A multidisciplinary core team has already been stood up and has begun discovery.

This has two high-level goals:

• Rapidly converge on a credible target technical and data architecture for the CJS Spine.
• Identify, validate and prepare a small number of pilot-ready use cases that test the CJS Spine as a route to strategic value or deliver tangible improvements in the short term, with enough confidence to move into delivery from April.

Your role

As a Data Architect, you will be:

• Define the target data architecture for the CJS Spine, aligned to the agreed technical direction.
• Articulate how person data should be structured, managed and governed across the system (conceptual & logical models, domains, boundaries).
• Specify principles and patterns for identity, linking, confidence, trust and data life cycle management.
• Design the overarching data management and governance model, including ownership, stewardship, and quality assurance, in conjunction with the data management lead.
• Define data standards that enable connected systems.
• Ensure that proposed pilots are consistent with the strategic direction.

• Technology: the MoJ predominantly uses AWS as their cloud platform
• Mainly remote, but may be onsite meetings and workshops - likely to be in London approximately once per week in MoJ's Westminster or Canary Wharf office.
