The Local Government Policy (LGP) directorate is responsible for oversight and performance monitoring of the local government sector, ensuring it is fit for purpose and resilient to deliver the government's priorities. The Local Government Strategy and Improvement Division sits within LGP and shapes the overarching strategic approach to local government and plays a pivotal role in considering the long-term direction of the sector.

We are looking for an SEO Policy Advisor to help bring together work on the capacity and capability of local authorities and shape the department's strategic role and response to key priorities such as workforce and leadership issues.

- Work with teams across DLUHC, Whitehall and external stakeholders to develop a clear set of priorities for local government and support the development of policy that reflects and supports the cross-cutting capacity and capability pressures facing the sector.
- Ensure positive engagement while building and maintaining trusting relationships across the directorate, the department and Private Offices.
- All teams within the Division have regular exposure to Ministers; the post holders will need to develop a relationship with Ministers’ Private Offices and will likely have the opportunity to brief Ministers face to face.
- Play an active leadership role in the division, role modelling behaviours and working flexibly across teams in an agile manner.
- Support wider priorities within the capacity and capability team and Local Government Strategy and Improvement division, as required.
