**Job summary**:
We pride ourselves on being a friendly, supportive and high performing team. The Local Government Stewardship division plays a key role in ensuring that councils can continue delivering services in a funding and policy environment that is increasingly challenging. Our risk team has the job of understanding where councils may be falling short in their ability to manage their finances and meet the ‘best value’ duty on local authorities to deliver efficient, effective, and economical services. Our work is demanding, complex and politically sensitive both locally and nationally as we work to identify councils at risk of failure.

It is an exciting time to be joining, as we adapt our approach to managing risk in local government both as a response to the changing operating landscape for local government, and in response to ministerial ambition. We are looking for people that want to make a difference.

**Job description**:

- Conducting in depth reviews of priority local authorities; gathering intelligence from a variety of sources to inform risk assessments and to develop and deliver mitigating activity.
- Producing advice on individual councils for senior colleagues, the Permanent Secretary and Ministers, drawing from a wide range of sources, and carrying out analysis on the evidence to inform proportionate and considered briefing on a council’s risk position.
- Programme managing and quality assuring our risk monitoring system to support the team’s risk management work; working seamless across departmental teams in maintaining a robust monitoring system; and supporting stakeholder engagement review work.

**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.
