DWP has the largest commercial estate in government and our team is committed to being smaller, greener and better – helping people to work, grow and thrive. Our estate provides accommodation for colleagues who support millions of daily customer interactions in Jobcentres and Health Assessment centres, back of house offices delivering frontline services and hub sites housing expert functions such as Policy, Finance, Digital and HR.
The DWP Estates function ensures the smooth and efficient operation of this network on a day-to-day basis. We manage a private sector supply chain that delivers essential services such as security guarding, maintenance, property and leasehold, construction, cleaning and facilities management. Many of these services are business critical and we cannot safely open our offices without them.
Our ambitions are to:
1. Transition to a smaller, more affordable, and adaptable estate.
2. Invest in improving DWP’s buildings and infrastructure, conducted mainly through an extensive programme of planned replacement works.
3. Meet our agreed Government Greening Commitments - creating a culture where sustainability is embedded.
4. Expertly deliver cost effective services.
5. Create a professional working culture that is best in class across the Government Property world.
There is no better time to join us as we transform our estate and make our buildings fit for the future.
As a Senior Leasehold Property Manager, you will be a key member of the Leasehold Team during this exciting time when DWP is modernising and investing in its estate. We have an ambitious programme of work to deliver over the next few years, including high volumes of lease acquisitions, divestments, lease renewals, regears and landlord consents, on top of the day-to-day work of managing the largest estate in Government.
Working to the Head of Leasehold or Lead Leasehold Property Manager in achieving the Department’s strategic objectives, this senior role will lead a team and manage and direct expert suppliers (property consultants and solicitors). You will be given the opportunity to lead on specific projects and areas of specialism where you will act as DWP’s leasehold subject matter expert.
