Technology Delivery Manager - Migration and Borders Technology Portfolio (MBTP)
The Home Office leads on immigration and passports, refugee protection, counter-terrorism, policing, fire services, and crime and drugs policy. This is an exciting time to be at the Home Office. You’ll have a chance to shape the future and support our mission to deliver exceptional public services that work for everyone.
Migration and Borders Technology Portfolio (MBTP) is part of the Digital, Data and Technology (DDaT) Directorate in the Home Office. MBTP is a Portfolio of around 3,500 dedicated professionals made up of civil servants and suppliers working together to develop some of the most challenging and transformative technology products, supporting critical programmes within the Migration and Borders system.
Working closely with colleagues in the Migration and Borders mission, we also support several of the Home Office's capabilities such as Customer Services, Immigration Enforcement and Border Force. We jointly design services, build, run and sustain them to enable some of the government’s most important strategic outcomes, notably the legitimate movement of people and goods to support economic prosperity.
We are guided by these principles:
- We put user needs first.
- We value delivery and outcomes over process.
- We work in the open.
This is how we produce exceptional outcomes. We also nurture talent and offer a broad range of learning and development opportunities that will help you flourish in your role. We work hard to maintain a positive working culture and are committed to helping you fulfil your potential.
This role can be based in any of the advertised locations/regions. Where business needs allow, some roles may be suitable for a combination of office and home-based working. Where this is the case, employees will be expected to spend a minimum of 60% of their working time in the office.Applicants can discuss any specific questions with the Vacancy Holder.
We encourage applications from people from the widest possible diversity of backgrounds, cultures, and experiences. We welcome applications from women, people with disabilities and LGBT+ as they are currently under-represented in the Home Office at this grade level.Appointments will be made on merit based on fair and open competition
