The Crown Prosecution Service is seeking an experienced and forward-thinking Head of Strategic Resourcing
To lead one of the most critical elements of our People agenda: ensuring we have the right people, with the right skills, in the right place, at the right time to deliver justice.
About the Crown Prosecution Service
At the Crown Prosecution Service, we are responsible for delivering justice through the independent and effective prosecution of crime. As the principal prosecuting authority across England and Wales, the nature and diversity of cases we advise on and prosecute means our work is often emotionally challenging and complex. As such we employ over 7,000 individuals who think objectively, act professionally, show the utmost respect for others and continually strive for excellence.
About the role
As Head of Strategic Resourcing, you lead end-to-end resourcing strategy and delivery, promoting fair and effective recruitment practices. You are responsible for developing and implementing strategies to attract, retain and grow our workforce, supporting long-term organisational capability. You are accountable for the performance of both high-volume and specialist recruitment campaigns, ensuring recruitment activity is inclusive and capable of delivering at scale.
Reasons to use Rodeo
I’m in my final year doing Economics and I don’t know whether to apply for grad schemes now or do a masters first. What do you think?
Honest answer — it depends on where you want to end up. A lot of top grad schemes (Big 4, civil service, banking) don’t need a masters. Let’s look at the ones you’d be competitive for now, and we can decide if a masters actually adds anything.
Also worth knowing: most autumn 2026 applications are open now. Timing matters more than you think.
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
