About the Infrastructure and Projects Authority

Who we are:

The Infrastructure and Projects Authority (IPA) is the government's centre of expertise for infrastructure and major projects. We sit at the heart of government, reporting to the Cabinet Office and HM Treasury. Our core teams include experts in infrastructure, project delivery and project finance who work with government departments and industry.

We support the successful delivery of all types of infrastructure and major projects; ranging from railways, schools, hospitals and housing, to defence, IT and major transformation programmes.

We lead the project delivery and project finance professions across government.

Our purpose:

Our purpose is to continuously improve the way infrastructure and major projects are delivered, in order to support government priorities and improve people's lives.

We aspire to create the best performing project system of any country in the world.

What we do:

The IPA works with government and industry to ensure projects are delivered efficiently and effectively, and to improve performance over time.

We work on the overall project delivery system, which includes the projects, people and processes that together create the right environment for successful delivery.

We measure how well the system is performing, so we can learn important lessons and continuously improve project performance over time.

Job description:

The role of the Leadership and Learning Team is to increase the capability and build capacity of project leaders and project professionals across government, through the delivery and consistent provision of world class project leadership learning, a comprehensive package of leadership training products and a new Project Delivery learning curriculum.

The Leadership and Learning Support will help manage the delivery of our world class leadership and learning programmes, including the Major Projects Leadership Academy (MPLA), Project Leadership Programme (PLP) and Orchestrating Major Projects (OMP).

The purpose of the MPLA is to support Senior Civil Servants to succeed personally and professionally and improve their ability to lead major projects.

The MPLA has been established by the IPA to transform the implementation of Government policy through world-class delivery of major projects.

PLP is an APM accredited leadership programme, created as a sister programme to MPLA. This programme is designed to combine expert academic theory with practical hands-on learning.

The OMP programme was launched for government's most senior leaders and decision makers, such as Directors General and Chief Executives in departments who influence the wider operating environment to enable project success.

OMP facilitates these leaders to examine how the major projects operating environment is shaped to enable project success.

This role reports into the HEO Leadership and Learning Coordinator.
