Background

The Cabinet Office is restructuring its Soft Facilities Management SFM' provision to create  a  single  soft  facilities  team  by  bringing  facilities  staff  from  the  various departments under one umbrella. The aim is to establish Soft Facilities as a centre for excellence under the Cabinet Office, providing a professional framework and the opportunity to progress through a clear career path as well as establishing continuity of best practice in our governance.

A group of employees have been identified whose roles are significantly aligned to Soft FM, that are proposed to transition to the new team. There will be some changes to their daily routines and activities in the short term, evolving to further opportunities and responsibilities as the new Office Modernisation project takes shape and training is completed. Changes would bring all roles closer in line with each other, allowing for greater resilience as well as development opportunities for the individuals.

This reorganisation will allow better use to be made of the resources available, to provide a more efficient and effective service across Government and allow staff to enjoy a logical career advancement in a Facilities centre of excellence. Additional training and recognised courses will be provided to enable progression
