**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.

**Job description**:
We are looking for a SEO Policy Advisor, desirable with experience of working in the environment of the data landscape. This is an exciting role with a particular focus on shaping the support strands of Oflog’s work.

This role will play a key part in ensuring best use of data by Oflog, Central and Local Government, including possibly forming data sharing agreements.

As a policy advisor, you will be responsible for bringing together ideas and evidence to support the delivery of priority policies relating to Oflog’s approach to the data landscape, working with many different teams within Oflog, across Whitehall, Local Government and other sector bodies.

You will be comfortable working in a complex environment, that might require working in a legal and data protection context.

You will also have the opportunity to help develop Oflog’s newly emerging culture and environment; we encourage all colleagues to play a role in the growth and development of Oflog, and bring about the work ethos they want to see.

**Person specification**:
**Essential**
- Strong oral and written skills including the ability to communicate detailed information succinctly and clearly.
- Ability to work collaboratively, build consensus and influence outcomes, both within and outside HM Government.
- Ability to develop policy solutions to complex situations where there could be competing interests or incomplete information.
- Track record of demonstrating resilience and flexibility under pressure with the ability to adapt to rapidly changing circumstances.
- Ability to balance competing demands whilst delivering high quality output.
- Strong organisational and management skills.
- An interest in the local government sector in the broad sense, passionate about ensuring good outcomes for the current and future sector and partners, and eager to help drive DLUHC’s contribution to delivering Levelling Up.

**Desirable**
- Experience of working on high profile and fast paced issues, preferably in the local government space.
- Knowledge and demonstrable understanding of the local government sector.
- Strong understanding of the data and digital environment, including experience or understanding of the work in Data Protection and sharing information between organisations.

**Behaviours**:
We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

- Seeing the Big Picture
- Making Effective Decisions
- Communicating and Influencing
- Delivering at Pace

**Benefits**:

- Alongside your salary of £38,732, Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities contributes £10,457 towards you being a member of the Civil Service Defined Benefit Pension scheme. Find out what benefits a Civil Service Pension provides.- Learning and development tailored to your role
