Birmingham, Birmingham, United Kingdom Government Property Agency Full time

Job Overview

The Government Property Agency is at the forefront of transforming the Civil Service, reshaping how civil servants engage with their work environment. As part of key Government initiatives, the Agency is pivotal in moving Civil Service roles out of London and addressing climate change through the Net Zero agenda. This ambitious change program aims to save significant funds over the next decade.

Beyond physical spaces, the GPA focuses on creating exceptional workplaces for its employees. Through initiatives like Hubs, Whitehall Campus, and Smart Working, you will play a crucial role in fostering innovative working environments and advocating for flexible work practices.

This role is an exciting opportunity for individuals with strong commercial insight who are dedicated to understanding and fulfilling customer needs. As a relatively new Executive Agency of the Cabinet Office, established in 2018, we are rapidly expanding and seek individuals who excel in dynamic environments, can swiftly adapt to change, and are willing to take initiative to achieve results.

Role Responsibilities

In this position, you will provide essential business management support to the Chief Operating Officer. This is a unique chance to advance your career within the GPA, collaborating with an inclusive and progressive team.

Your primary responsibilities will include:

  • Delivering professional business management assistance for the Directorate, including managing workflow through the Director's office, overseeing diary management, maintaining business plans, and prioritizing incoming correspondence.
  • Anticipating future business requirements to enable the COO and Senior Leadership Team to function effectively, analyzing business challenges, and implementing or recommending solutions.
  • Coordinating Directorate-wide responses for larger corporate submissions, ensuring timely and quality material is received, while identifying data needs and gaps.
  • Managing the calendar of Directorate meetings and engagements, organizing logistics, and ensuring that all necessary materials are prepared and distributed.
  • Providing efficient day-to-day management of the Director's diary, ensuring it meets required standards and addressing issues as they arise.
  • Leading, supporting, and developing a small team to provide administrative assistance to the Directorate's deputy directors and cross-COO initiatives.
  • Building and maintaining effective relationships across GPA Directorates, the wider Civil Service, and senior stakeholders, requiring excellent interpersonal skills and adaptability.

The post holder may be assigned additional responsibilities as necessary for the role and grade.
