People and Places has the vision to deliver a “Great Place to Work”, where our people - located across the UK - are empowered to deliver the finest public services and better represent the communities they serve:

- Individuals will have a greater choice about how, when and where they do their work, with opportunities wider than Whitehall;
- Business Units will attract and retain a diverse workforce of dedicated public servants that meet our future capability needs and improves policy creation and service delivery by ensuring that we are better connected with communities across the UK;
- Cabinet Office will be seen as a leader on the implementation of key HM Government policies around strengthening the Union and Levelling-up.

The Head of Operational Estates proactively manages the onsite operational requirements across all locations; works with the Head of Estates Strategy to understand the strategic workforce plans to ensure the workplace aligns to operational need and is delivered within budget allocations; and to manage the performance of GPA and its delivery of projects.

You will be responsible for leading the CO Estates Intelligent Client Function team, ensuring that resources are aligned and matters are responded to in a prioritised way. In addition you will be liaising through GPA to deliver onsite estates projects, facilities management and other estates matters as required.
