  • Provision of expert advice and guidance, developing a high standard of quality assurance, to support the business of the team in its centralised statutory information access service

The postholder will help lead the team to undertaking activities relating to reporting, engagement, continuous improvement, learning and development and wellbeing.

In line with our work to increase cross-team working within the Parliamentary and Public Accountability Team, and to role model a one team ethos, the postholder may also be required to undertake projects outside their immediate area of responsibility to support parliamentary, complaints and enquiries team activity.
