The Strategy and Engagement 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.

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 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 Coordinator 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 Strategy and Engagement 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 Policy Coordinator will be part of the Strategy and Engagement team and 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 Coordinator will be a key facilitator in ensuring policy ideas from across the council are developed collaboratively including ensuring alignment between the Chief Executive’s Office, the Leadership Office and the Strategy and Engagement team.
