In practice, this means we are positive and inclusive about making adjustments, providing flexible working, encouraging our staff networks to flourish and providing personal and professional development opportunities.
The Role:

- Using your judgement, you’ll strike a balance between delivering value for money to the taxpayer and ensuring fairness to claimants. With delegated authority under the financial delegations for HS2, you’ll work closely with the Acquisition Lead and colleagues across the Land and Property team to escalate issues that might need special attention.
About you:
- You will be a Chartered Surveyor (or equivalent) with prior knowledge of dealing with multiple stakeholders on sensitive property issues. You’ll be able to manage internal and external negotiations tactfully and be skilled in developing public-facing communications, project managing, report writing, and compiling and analysing data from multiple sources.
- With experience managing performance within the property business, including building effective relationships with suppliers, you’ll understand compulsory purchase procedures or other government compensation schemes.
