**Job summary**:
The new Office for Local Government (Oflog) is a key priority of the Secretary of State. Oflog will help to drive improvement in local government - responsible for a wider range of critical and everyday services - in order to improve outcomes for the public. It will do this by providing authoritative and accessible data and analysis about the performance of local government, so that local leaders can benchmark themselves against their peers and communities can more effectively challenge their authorities.
