Bristol, United Kingdom UK Civil Service Full time

Job summary

The Office for Local Government (Oflog)'s vision is to help make local government even better. We will increase understanding about the performance of local authorities, warn when authorities are at risk of serious failure, and support local government to improve itself. To do that, Oflog's strategic objectives are:

inform - to increase understanding - among citizens, civil society, central government and local government itself - about data on the performance of local authorities;

warn - to help identify local authorities that are at risk of serious failure but have not raised the alarm themselves;

support - to support local government to improve performance, productivity, and value for money: championing best practice, improving data capability and rationalising a complex data landscape.

Oflog is a key priority of the Secretary of State. It is an office of DLUHC, meaning all staff are DLUHC civil servants. The government committed in the Levelling Up White Paper that Oflog would be independent, and Ministers have asked us to act with a spirit of independence and have committed not to exercise influence over our outputs (other than approving our recommendations for new metrics). We look forward to Oflog's increasing independence.

Oflog is a mixed-discipline team, including policy and local government experts, and analysts from a range of disciplines. This is a unique time to participate in setting up a new organisation from the ground up. While supporting the aims of Oflog, the successful candidate will have an opportunity to work in a nimble organisation and to shape the overall organisation and its culture.
