Cabinet Office Digital is a cross-government business unit within the Cabinet Office responsible for driving efficiencies and modernising the Civil Service. Cabinet Office Digital brings together the core services that support civil servants: pensions, recruitment, back office transactional services and the platforms and services used by civil servants. We have a real focus on value for money - firstly for the departments and organisations which use the services we deliver, and ultimately for the taxpayer. This role sits within Cabinet Office Digital, Platforms and Services Operations (PaSO), which is responsible for the operation and continuous improvement of Civil Service digital and data platforms. Cabinet Office Digital's priorities include:
* Designing, building and operating the systems that underpin services that are essential to government, such as Civil Service Jobs (used by over 220 organisations) and Civil Service Learning (approx 560k users).
* Driving forward Civil Service interoperability, which will enable Civil Servants to work effectively across organisational boundaries, in a more efficient and seamless manner.
* Providing expert technology advice and guidance to support the creation of five shared services platforms as part of the Shared Services Strategy.
* Providing services which meet user needs and drive improved user experience so that the Civil Service operates more efficiently and effectively.
