London, United Kingdom Islington Council Full time

The Policy and Innovation Officer will use their robust understanding of public policy and appetite for change to facilitate strategic thinking across the Council, identifying emerging policy developments and spotting opportunities to test new ways of working. The Policy and Innovation Officer will lead and support a range of policy development projects with design, data, and digital tools at their core. Creativity and problem solving will be core to the work as will a relentless focus on delivering improved outcomes for residents.

The post holder can expect to be working on high profile, cross-cutting programmes which aim to tackle complex social challenges such as eliminating poverty by working in collaborative and dynamic ways with colleagues across the council. They will be expected to bring energy, creativity and passion for co-producing solutions with communities and stakeholders. We are looking for expert communicators and so the ability to research, produce high quality reports and articulate new approaches to solving problems in compelling ways will be key.

Challenging inequality is at the heart of everything we do as a team and so the Policy and Innovation Officer will also need to provide expert advice to the organisation on equality, diversity and inclusion and in particular, they will have an eye for detail in relation to Equality Impact Assessments and other equalities documentation.

They will also be expected to provide advice to council services around strategy, engagement and inclusive participation and make sure we are always considering residents in accessible ways in our decision making. The ability to build strong relationships with internal and external partners and stakeholders, including elected members, to promote and gain buy in for the Policy and Innovation team’s work will be expected.

We are looking for energetic change makers, who can collaborate and bring new ideas as we continue on our journey towards a more equal Islington.

The Strategy, Equality and Communities Team plays a critical role at the centre of the Council, driving forward our strategic priorities through development of evidence-based policies which draw on cutting edge innovation and from piloting new approaches.
