They will ensure that co-location and collaboration with partners, and the health, safety and wellbeing of our officers, staff and communities are at the forefront of our future planning and project prioritisation. The post holder will own and develop future co-location opportunities, property valuations, acquisitions and disposals, future location requirements for inclusion in business cases, and for financial arrangements, eg. lease negotiations, lease structures, renewals/terminations, property sales and purchases.
