London PSR JP00012207 Interim Project Support Officer / Administrator– Cabinet Office

One of the highest priorities for the Civil Service is improving commercial capability across Government, a priority being driven by the Government Commercial Function (GCF).

As part of the work of the GCF, the Commercial Capability Programme (CCP) has established the Government Commercial Organisation (GCO) that recruits, retains, develops and grows senior commercial talent, helping to drive commercial best practice and improved commercial outcomes. The GCO employs senior commercial staff across all Government Departments. It currently employs ~300 senior commercial specialists and is growing.

Our next phase of the CCP will continue the improvement of commercial capability by extending the scope of the GCO to include Commercial Leads (Grade 7s) in Central Government Departments. This programme of expansion will increase the number of commercial specialists employed by the GCO to ~900. In readiness for this increase in population, the GCO central operations team, who support the day to day running of the GCO are investing in a new cloud based HR system. This is a critical project for the GCO, as it will significantly improve the HR experience and functionality of the commercial specialists.
