**Job summary**:
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) is the lead department for HMG’s hugely important and high profile Levelling Up agenda. This is a very exciting time to join the department as we are at the heart of the government’s central mission, driving forward a programme of tangible improvements in every part of the country as we build back better from the pandemic, and deliver on the people’s priorities.

The Local Growth Analysis division is a multi-disciplinary team of economists, statisticians, and social researchers and works across both Department for Business and Trade and DLUHC. The division provides high quality, innovative analysis across a wide range of DLUHC policies focused on levelling up. Local Growth Analysis plays an instrumental role in the delivery of the government’s agenda on Levelling up and local economic growth across the UK.

The division includes two G6-led teams that lead an evaluation programme for Levelling up and is delivering evaluations for several levelling up programmes, such as the Levelling Up Fund and the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

The teams offer a fast-moving, friendly and intellectually stimulating environment, where you can make a real contribution to maintaining this high-quality evidence base used for formulating government policy. We take the development of our people very seriously, equipping and enabling them to make an impact by ensuring high quality evidence and analysis is at the heart of the policy-making process. We are committed to good management and professional development staff.

**Job description**:
Ever wanted to be at the forefront of developing an innovative new package of evaluations which will be at the heart of levelling up across HMG? Really getting to understand what’s happening across localities in the UK, understanding the impacts of levelling up expenditure - at national, regional, local authority and even smaller scales. And helping to understand what works in local economic growth.

Working with OGDs, local authorities, What Works Growth and many other stakeholders, we’re developing an innovative new approach to understanding the effectiveness of a range of multi-billion-pound levelling up programmes and devolution deals. These evaluations will drive our understanding of interventions which work (and don’t work), which is crucial to target future local growth expenditure by HMG and local areas.

**Key Responsibilities**:

- Building knowledge and capability in various open and paid for datasets to improve DLUHCs monitoring on outcomes, understanding on data quality, and supporting and challenging evaluation activity undertaken by contractors across several local growth funds.
- Conducting ad-hoc analysis of data to help answer research questions to better understand programme delivery and its impact.
- Helping design data requirements for new programme being developed.
- Lead on developing access to data for the team (e.g., procuring or setting up data sharing agreements).
- Building relationships and working with ONS, DLUHC Spatial Data Unit, commercial data suppliers, local authorities, evaluation contractors and OGDs among others.
- In addition to their main responsibilities, the post holder will also support and take the lead on wider projects to support the team.

**Person specification**:
**Key skills**

These are high profile posts, requiring a combination of technical and soft skills. In particular:

- Experience of proactively leading on areas of responsibility. To ensure the post holder has maximum impact they will need to be proactive in engaging with analytical and programme stakeholders and generating new ideas for how data can be used. This may involve proactively seeking out new sources of data or analytical insights, as well as working collaboratively with other members of the team to ensure that analysis and findings are integrated into decision-making processes.
- A good knowledge and /or experience of using analytical software. This will involve being able to clean, transform, and analyse complex data sets, identify trends and patterns, and draw meaningful insights and conclusions from the data.
- The ability to manage the collection of data that is fit for purpose, promoting increased efficiency and effectiveness in data gathering, for example data sharing and minimising respondent burdens.
- Experience in using administrative and/or secondary data (e.g.
