We are looking to recruit project leads (grade 7 level) to be appointed to a number of priority roles across the department. The roles will be challenging and varied which could see you managing projects or programmes in any area of MHCLG’s policy portfolio, from housing and planning to local growth to building safety and net zero.

Responsive, adaptable and motivational leaders that are comfortable working with changing priorities, situations and deadlines at pace.

Finally, we are looking for people who share our values in MHCLG and want to make a real difference in an inclusive, collaborative and inspiring department.
