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.

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; andsupport � 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 for the Secretary of State.� It is a fast paced, high profile area to work.� 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 developing a new organisation from the ground up.

We look forward to Oflog�s increasing independence
