Operational delivery profession in departments

Departmental heads of profession

The profession is led by a network of heads of profession from each of the four big delivery departments. These have the largest number of delivery staff working within their departments.

These are:

  • Department of Work and Pensions
  • HM Revenue & Customs
  • Ministry of Justice
  • Home Office

The heads of profession collectively aim to:

  • agree the strategic objectives for the development of the profession and a workplan that will support the achievement of these
  • share best practice with operational delivery leads across the UK government and the devolved administrations (DAs) of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales.

In the smaller delivery departments, operational delivery champions have been identified. These support the profession individually by:

  • playing a visible role as leaders of the profession within their departments/DAs, taking responsibility for the development and establishment of the profession
  • supporting the delivery of the workplan, as appropriate to their departments/DAs.
