Operational delivery profession
The operational delivery profession is the largest group in government, made up of 280,000 people – 7 out of 10 of all civil servants – who support and protect citizens in the UK and overseas.
These people provide the services that keep the country going, whether that is processing visas or driving licences, working in courts or prisons, or helping people find jobs or get their entitlements.
The operational delivery profession develops and supplies the learning, qualifications and opportunities to build individuals’ capabilities so that they become more skilled and provide a better service.
