<h2>Good Growth</h2>
Good Growth is responsible for delivering and implementing the Mayor’s environment, transport and economic strategies and for the effective implementation of the London Plan. The Directorate is also responsible for regeneration (where the programme is not housing led), enterprise, growth, capital projects and design work.
<h2>About the team</h2>
The London Plan Team is a friendly and inclusive team of innovators and experts at the forefront of Planning, developing new forward thinking strategic policies to promote high quality sustainable development in London as we move towards a new London Plan. We think long-term and big picture – without taking our eye off the detail. Our work involves policy making to bring forward good growth that meets London’s needs in a sustainable way to deliver high quality living for all.
We welcome and support new staff to make sure they become effective members of the team, helping them to realise their full potential, not only to deliver their responsibilities but also to help them achieve their own professional career aspirations.
<h2>About the role</h2>
The London Plan (the Mayor’s Spatial Development Strategy), shapes the growth of London as a whole, setting the parameters and policies for development across the capital, from planning for the homes and employment space that Londoners need, to delivering the infrastructure necessary to meet growth ambitions. It’s an exciting time to join as we are in the process of preparing a new draft plan, and the programme leading up to and including the plan’s examination-in-public and adoption.
From leading conversations and engagement with stakeholders and communities, to producing data-driven evidence, and using your judgment and knowledge to advise the Senior Team and Deputy Mayor on planning and policy formation, no two days will be the same.

Experience of working in planning policy at a London borough will be particularly welcome.&nbsp;&nbsp;
You’ll have excellent knowledge of the range of planning issues facing the capital and be able to demonstrate your political awareness. You’ll bring your enthusiasm to work with you in a role where you can benefit from professional development opportunities and on-the-job learning, as well as wider leadership opportunities, e.g. through participation in and leadership of our staff networks, and involvement in work to promote the equalities, diversity and inclusion agenda. This helps to make the GLA a great place to work, and a place that reflects the communities we serve.&nbsp;

This role provides support for core curatorial work for the Museum service, ensuring professional collections standards are met.
The Assistant Museum Manager will help people to understand their heritage through engaging with the collection, so that they can develop a sense of belonging and pride, and increase access to heritage through effective collections management and innovative programmes of exhibitions, outreach, and digital development.
A successful Heritage Lottery Fund grant was awarded in 2018 for the development of a new home for the Museum. The old building closed to the public in February 2019 and the new premises opened to the public on 1 November 2019. The new space, at the Samuel Wickens Centre, is much better suited to showing the history of Rustington in a cohesive format and includes visitor experiences, such as an oral history bank and interactive stations. A temporary exhibition area allows a changing programme of events and a space to hold family activities and host talks for visiting community groups during the day.&nbsp;
The Museum shares the building with a Community Hall and the Information Centre in the heart of the Village.&nbsp;
The postholder will support the delivery and growth of engagement with new and existing audiences.
