Location
- Darlington, London, WolverhamptonAbout the job

**Job summary**:
Local authorities are independent of central government and are responsible for providing local services. Our Secretary of State has powers to intervene where there is evidence of significant and systemic failure to secure best value for local residents. This has been seen recently in Liverpool City Council, Slough Borough Council, Sandwell Metropolitan Borough Council, Nottingham City Council and Thurrock Council. Each initiative of this type involves detailed and rewarding work - taking a local authority from the brink of disaster to success.

We are looking for up to four people to join our expanding Local Government Interventions Team. There are roles assessing and advising as to whether these powers should be used and then supporting Ministers in putting in place inspections and interventions. There are also roles directly supporting Commissioners in interventions as well as having an overall influence on the wider commissioner cadre. We are a friendly, supportive, high-performing and flexible team, working in a complex, demanding, politically sensitive and high-profile environment. We are looking for people who want to make a difference.

**Job description**:
The work requires strong analytical skills, establishing strong relationships with local partners and across Whitehall, and is by its very nature reactive and unpredictable.

There are line management opportunities.
- Engage with a wide variety of colleagues and experts drawn from across DLUHC, Whitehall and the local government sector.
- Develop and draft ministerial policy advice and parliamentary materials.
- Have focussed engagement with specific authorities, becoming “experts” in those areas.

**Person specification**:
**Essential criteria**

These are demanding roles that require personal resilience and the ability to operate in an uncertain and reactive environment. We are looking for people who are comfortable delivering at pace and who can demonstrate good judgement.

**Experience**

An in-depth knowledge of local authority governance, finances and functions is desirable but is not essential

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

- Communicating and Influencing
- Working Together
- Delivering at Pace

**Benefits**:

- Learning and development tailored to your role
- An environment with flexible working options
- A culture encouraging inclusion and diversity
- A Civil Service pension with an average employer contribution of 27%

Things you need to know

**Selection process details**:

- This vacancy is using Success Profiles (opens in a new window), and will assess your Behaviours, Strengths and Experience.**We are for everyone**

**We would strongly recommend that applicants get in touch with the vacancy manager to find out more information about this role.**

We are for everyone

DLUHC want to bring in a diverse workforce at all levels.

- The assessor won’t be reading your answers sequentially.
- Do not assume that the same assessors will have read all of your answers.
- If talking about something in your first answer, make sure that you write the second answer as if you had not written the first (and so on)

**At sift, we will be assessing**

Behaviour 1 (lead behaviour) - Communicating and influencing

Behaviour 2 - Working together

Behaviour 3 - Delivering at pace

There is a 250 word limit per question.
