The Places for Growth team supports regional Heads of Place to help build and embed thriving Civil Service communities across the UK. Working collectively with senior leaders across departments in a region or nation, Heads of Place facilitate collaboration on cross cutting issues such as recruitment, outreach and workforce planning. By working on a location-first basis, Heads of Place help to ensure the Civil Service presence across the UK is sustainable and has a positive impact on local communities.
“After hearing about the Cabinet Office’s decision to build a Second Headquarters in Glasgow, I immediately knew I wanted to apply.”
Ceilidh MacDonald
Glasgow Community Lead, Cabinet Office
By 2030, we intend to have established a network of locations across the UK where Civil and Public Servants are rooted in local communities and reflective of the places they serve. Recruitment will support sustainable career pathways in all locations and enable diversity of thought and experience to grow and flourish within the Civil Service.Places for Growth Portfolio works closely with departments and public bodies to ensure roles are relocated at pace. 19 departments and public bodies have now announced their relocation plans, including the Cabinet Office establishing a second HQ in Glasgow, the establishment of the Darlington Economic Campus, the Home Office (HO) relocating 1,950 roles, including to a new Innovation Centre in Stoke-on-Trent and the establishment of a second DLUHC HQ in Wolverhampton.
Places for Growth is bringing jobs and opportunities to develop a Civil Service career across the UK. Since March 2020, over 14,000 roles have been relocated from Greater London to locations across the UK including Glasgow, Cardiff, Darlington and York.
The Government Property Strategy 2022-2030 sets out how we will transform the public estate, delivering savings and achieving better value for money.
This strategy will ensure that the government estate helps to transform places and services; is smaller, better and greener; and is managed in a professional, commercial way.
