We’re living in extraordinary times, with unprecedented need for DWP products and services in our communities.

As a Service Manager, you’ll know your way around key areas like incident management, problem management and effective management of services. You will define and manage SLAs and OLAs, and build stakeholder relationships big enough to make sure we deliver quality and value and on time.
You have the service management skills and experience to analyse and resolve complex issues. You know when to fix a problem yourself, when to get support and when to escalate.
What skills, knowledge and experience will you need?
• Experience of Service Reporting
