Innovation and progress underpin our behaviours. We foster a culture of lifelong learning, where curiosity and self‑improvement are encouraged. Our four core values are at the heart of everything we do. They shape our culture and guide how we work, lead and grow together:

Striving for excellence - We always aim to deliver great results

Empowering through respect - We insist on fair treatment for all, always

Essential requirements

This is a new role for an established, experienced Change Manager to join the newly established Business Integration team, situated in the Workplace Portfolio Management team of the Government Property Agency’s (GPA) Workplace Services (WS) Directorate. As a founding member of the team, you will help shape the processes and systems of change utilised to deliver cross directorate change. Offering a genuine opportunity to build our operational change capability from the ground up, this role will be instrumental in shaping our change frameworks, impact assessment tools, delivery methods, and reporting rhythms. Reporting to the Head of Business Integration, you will lead the people, process and cultural change across the WS directorate. As one of the largest directorates in the GPA, WS is regionally distributed and operates across five distinct functional areas, each led by a Deputy Director. You will play a central role in delivering major transformation initiatives (including digital workplace platforms, estate moves, service delivery models, and operational assurance frameworks) to ensure initiatives and changes land safely without disrupting daily building operations. In doing so, you will build change capability, embed sustainable new ways of working, and ensure both frontline operational teams and our commercial supply chain partners are supported to absorb change seamlessly. As part of establishing this new capability, you will also recruit, onboard, and line‑manage an SEO Change Support Lead to build out your core team.
