Generally speaking a cabinet minister is a political appointee who broadly agrees with the policies of his or her party in a specific field of government.
It is their job to carry out the functions, tasks and policies decided upon by the party.
Though they are the titular head of a particular department and ultimately responsible to the government or leader of the party, they can be removed from office if they fail to follow party policy and often have been.
