The operational delivery profession is made up of more than 280,000 employees who are the outward face of government, providing day-to-day services to citizens.
People in the operational delivery profession do an essential job, helping customers to access services and meet their obligations. They work in many different departments and agencies across the breadth of the UK, within a variety of functions such as:
- face-to-face roles (such as interview officers for passports at the Identity and Passport Service)
- contact centre roles (such as call centre advisers on tax credits in HM Revenue & Customs)
- processing roles (such as pensions administrators at the Department for Work and Pensions).
Operational delivery professionals shape the views of people towards government through their experience of our services and work hard to ensure the public receives the best possible service the government has to offer. See Sir Bob Kerslake’s blog on operational delivery profession.
Being part of the operational delivery profession means belonging to a cross-government community of people.
