Met Business Services (MBS) is a new way for the Met to deliver enabling services to all of our officers and staff. MBS is a front-line focused services organisation that sets our people up to succeed, reduces admin, and provides a single source of truth for all HR, Finance and Commercial data, providing a critical cornerstone to fix our foundations.
MBS will help every person and supplier working with the Met by:
- Building a modern and efficient industry-standard business services directorate, building and pooling key specialist capabilities, strengthening HR, Finance and Commercial functions whilst removing functional silos;
- Designing end-to-end services, building them around the needs of the users rather than in functional process silos and seamlessly integrating them regardless of how they are delivered; and
- Providing easy-to-use interfaces and ‘one-touch’ services for end-users that leverage the potential of contemporary technologies like automation and low-code workflows.
This is an exciting time to be part of MBS – we are building new capabilities and new ways of working that will directly help the frontline to focus on what matters and make a real difference to London. The Met as a whole is transforming to deliver on our goals of More Trust, Less Crime and High Standards, and being part of establishing this new organisation puts you at the heart of that journey with tremendous potential for growth both within the team and across the Met. The value and purpose of MBS is wired into the heart of the Met, with opportunities to collaborate across the organisation, drive innovation to get the right outcomes and support our people in policing London.
MBS is a critical enabler of the Met’s strategic objectives, including the delivery of the New Met for London. This role will deliver and oversee the operational Job Evaluation service across the MPS, ensuring all evaluations and job descriptions are managed efficiently, accurately, and in alignment with internal frameworks, legal compliance, equal pay principles, diversity and inclusion standards, and organisational values.
