We are transforming the way the Civil Service works by creating great places to work, leading the largest commercial office programme in the UK, working towards halving carbon emissions from government offices, and achieving greater value for taxpayers. And we are looking for innovative, solutions-focused people to join our team.
Representing the best covenant in the UK – His Majesty’s Government – we are leading significant transformational programmes such as the Government Hubs Programme, Whitehall Campus Programme and Net Zero Programme. We are also delivering cost-effective property services such as asset management, lifecycle replacement and workplace services.
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
- Acting with integrity- We consistently do the right thing
- Succeeding together- We rely on each other to achieve success
The GPA is committed to representing the communities we serve by making Diversity, Equality and Inclusion part of everything we do.
To ensure that we are always recruiting and retaining a diverse mix of talent, we are particularly inviting applications from candidates who are disabled, ethnically or gender diverse, and people who identify as being part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Join our dynamic and diverse team that leads with purpose, improving sustainability, nurturing social value, driving inclusivity and flexibility, and kickstarting economic growth. We are driven by purpose, and you can be part of it too: where you make a meaningful impact; where you influence; where your voice really matters; where you help to shape our future direction.
We are seeking a dynamic and innovative Higher Executive Officer to join our Talent & Organisational Development (T&OD) team. Reporting directly to the Grade 7 Culture and Values Lead, you will provide essential support for the Culture and Values work-stream, contributing to the realisation of our organisational vision. Resilient and innovative, you will ensure that EDI and wellbeing are embedded at the heart of everything we do.
This role is central to delivering both cyclical and strategic initiatives aimed at modernising and enriching our people-focused offerings. The successful candidate will play a key role in fostering a thriving workplace culture, supporting organisational growth, and strengthening our position as an employer of choice within the sector. You will support the implementation of our new organisational values, ensuring they are seamlessly integrated into everyday practices, behaviours, and processes. Your work will be instrumental in shaping an inclusive and supportive environment where all staff feel valued, respected, and motivated to excel.
The role involves supporting vital initiatives across several interconnected areas. You will support the implementation of our Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) plan, working to embed inclusive practices across the organisation. Additionally, you will contribute to enhancing staff wellbeing through the development of programmes and initiatives that promote a positive and resilient work environment. You will also oversee the lifecycle of staff engagement surveys, including the annual people survey and internal pulse surveys, analysing data and translating insights into actionable improvements.
This is a high-impact role that demands initiative, expertise, and the ability to manage multiple, overlapping responsibilities in a fast-paced environment. You should be comfortable working autonomously, open to working with ambiguity, and adept at reviewing and adapting priorities to align with HR and organisational needs. A proactive, influential approach is essential, as is proficiency in data analysis, interpretation, and presenting insights to inform decision-making. Equally important is your creative ability to design programmes, culture workshops, and engagement activities that drive meaningful change.
There is also an exciting opportunity for the successful candidate to take the lead on discrete programmes, further shaping and supporting our organisational culture.
In return, we will support your professional development as an HR specialist, providing a platform to grow and thrive in a forward-thinking environment.
