Job description

The Government Property Agency (GPA) is the largest property holder in government, managing over £2.1 billion in assets and more than 55% of the government’s office estate.

We are transforming how the Civil Service operates by creating excellent workplaces, leading the UK's largest commercial office programme, reducing carbon emissions from government offices by half, and delivering greater value for taxpayers. We seek innovative, solutions-focused individuals to join our team.

Representing the UK's top covenant – His Majesty’s Government – we are spearheading major transformational initiatives such as the Government Hubs Programme, Whitehall Campus Programme, and Net Zero Programme. We also provide cost-effective property services including asset management, lifecycle replacement, and workplace services.

Our culture is driven by innovation and progress. We promote lifelong learning, curiosity, and self-improvement. Our four core values underpin our actions:

1. Striving for excellence: We aim to deliver outstanding results.

3. Acting with integrity: We do the right thing consistently.
4. Succeeding together: We rely on each other to achieve success.

Join our diverse and dynamic team committed to sustainability, social value, inclusivity, flexibility, and economic growth. Be part of our purpose-driven organization where your impact, voice, and influence matter, helping shape our future.

The GPA is dedicated to reflecting the communities we serve by embedding Diversity, Equality, and Inclusion in all we do. We particularly encourage applications from candidates who are disabled, ethnically or gender diverse, or identify as LGBTQ+.

The Workplace Experience Team is a high-performing, motivated, and collaborative group responsible for delivering customer-focused initiatives, including Future Ways of Working, Customer Experience, and Customer Insight.

The Future Ways of Working team focuses on embedding and evolving modern working practices across the civil service. After successfully delivering the smarter working programme, this team sustains a network of practitioners to inform and influence future workplace strategies, emphasizing flexibility and choice.

The Engagement Manager for Future Ways of Working will support the interoperability programme by developing the 'Ways of Working' pillar, facilitating practitioner contributions, and influencing future workplace designs.
