(Croydon, Full–time, Permanent)
About Capita
At Capita, we support clients across a range of sectors, including local Government, central Government, education, transport, health, life and pensions, insurance and other private sector organisations. We support with expertise applied by the talent across our business in combination with technology, insight and analytics to keep our clients ahead of change, sharper than competitors and more efficient than ever – and we always need new talent to help us achieve our goals.
We are currently recruiting for interesting and exciting positions at the Home Office. The Home Office keeps the UK secure and prosperous; protects its citizens, residents and visitors and their property; and upholds rights, liberties and the rule of law. We lead on immigration and passports, drugs policy, crime and fire policy, counterterrorism and work to ensure visible, responsive and accountable policing in the UK.
Why Join Home Office?
This role is an exciting opportunity for a dynamic and innovative person to be at the forefront of change in one of the great Departments of State. We are delivering significant transformation in order to continue keeping our citizens safe and our country secure. New technology and the fast–evolving nature of the threats we face mean we must adapt, and adapt fast, and with the UK leaving the EU, the need for change is greater than ever.
Project Managers provide a key role delivering the Home Office Transformation Portfolio. It is large, complex and challenging and encompasses over 20 major and/or mission critical projects and programmes plus four business portfolios of change. There is a strong focus on agile, modular project delivery, supported by enterprise–wide portfolio management and you could find yourself working on a project for the UK's critical national infrastructure through to a complex technology enabled business change programme.
The Role of a Technical Project Manager

LECN is delivering a software–based network encryption service, based on a software defined wide area network (SD–WAN) alongside a Wide Area Network–Network to Network Interface (WAN–NNI) that will replace the existing PSNfP Gateway, Off–Shore Gateway and Police Cloud Gateway.
This role presents the right individual with the opportunity to work closely with an interesting and diverse set of partners and decision–makers, to take ownership and lead software upgrade projects; whilst also providing support and oversight to other project colleagues within the wider portfolio.
You will be joining a dynamic and friendly team, with an opportunity to work on face paced and stimulating projects using modern interfaces and technology to strengthen IT capabilities within the Programme and Portfolio.
