Local Government Jobs

When conditions are becoming more challenging for local authorities, it’s time for local government to get creative. That’s why we’re creating a unique new strategic model at the centre of our Council. Bringing together the conventionally disparate strands of Policy Partnerships and Performance under one remit, this model will be ideally placed to source information, conduct analysis, create new policies and facilitate the partnerships underlying organisational change and improved performance.

There is, in short, no better place to influence policy or develop your career.

As Policy Officer, you will work closely with our Assistant Directors in the coordination of the corporate policy development underpinning our future change programme. This will include briefing colleagues on the implications of new legislations and initiatives, coordinating responses to the Comprehensive Area Assessment and developing new, Borough-wide policy developments. As a proven expert on the latest national legislation, you will also act as a corporate reference point for Awards, Beacon Status, LAA and other matters.

Any disabled applicant meeting the essential criteria set out in the person profile for a job will be guaranteed an interview.
