**Job summary**:
The GPA is committed to representing the communities we serve by making Diversity, Equality and Inclusion part of everything we do.

The Government Property Agency is changing the way the Civil Service works and is at the forefront of Government's transformation agenda; reshaping the relationship civil servants have with their place of work. The Agency is central to the delivery of key Government policies including moving 22,000 Civil Service roles out of London by 2030 and tackling climate change by contributing to the Net Zero agenda. To do this we are delivering a major change programme across the UK and consolidating our portfolio in order to save £1.4 Bn over 10 years.

Beyond the bricks and mortar, the GPA is about providing great workplaces for our people. Through programmes like Hubs, Whitehall Campus and Smart Working you will be in the vanguard of creating model working environments and promoting flexible working practices.

This is an ambitious and exciting task, for which we need innovative people, with strong commercial acumen, who are passionate about visualising and implementing customer needs. Launched as an Executive Agency of the Cabinet Office in 2018, we’re a relatively new department and we are growing fast so we also need people who thrive in ambiguity, can adapt quickly to change and are comfortable stepping outside of their remit to drive outcomes.

- Maintaining a forward look for the Board and its subcommittees to ensure that the Board remains focussed on strategic issues.
- Ensuring that the Board is provided with high quality, concise and timely information to aid their decision making.
- Providing clear guidance to the authors of board papers on approach and content, and supporting this with appropriate training.
- Monitoring changes in relevant legislation and the regulatory environment and taking action accordingly to ensure that the Board remains compliant with statutory requirements.
- Overseeing the day-to-day administration of the Board e.g. including organising Board meetings, preparing agendas and taking minutes.
- Overseeing the GPA Executive Committee and its subcommittees in their work in support of the Board.
- Leading on the continuous improvement of the GPA's governance.
