**Job summary**:
This HEO role will provide support to Deputy and Area Leads on a range of policy and programme issues across both the West Midlands & South West regions. They will provide a central role in supporting the ‘engine room’ of the team e.g. handling commissions, PMO / team / information management and other corporate contributions such as promoting L&D opportunities, stakeholder mapping or wellbeing.

Area teams are experts on the places. We have a strong grasp of the facts and figures, but facts and figures don’t explain a place. We understand local individuals and institutions. We know how places feel. We know their history. We can tell stories about them and work with them to deliver change.

The Cities and Local Growth Unit represents the Government Local Growth and Levelling Up work across the whole of the UK focussing on relationships with local partners and delivery.

It is a joint Department for Business and Trade (DBT) and Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) directorate formed of 8 area teams - 5 England teams (North West; Yorkshire, Humber & North East; West Midlands & South West; East Midlands, East Anglia and OxCam; London & South East) plus teams in Northern Ireland, Scotland and Wales.

**Job description**:
Area teams have a deep understanding of places and grow rich relationships with local bodies across the UK (Devolved institutions, Local Authorities, Local Enterprise Partnerships and Pan Regional Partnerships) key private sector actors (Business Rep bodies, Universities, anchor companies) and a range of third sector organisations. The role provides team support in a number of ways to area leads leading this engagement, acting as a key contact between area teams and other teams/departments, often working pace.

Corporate Support
- This includes:
- Coordinating and responding to commissions, including parliamentary business, correspondence, briefing requests and visits
- Information management
- Risk management
- Organising and minuting team meetings, team strategy/away days, L&D events, team policy workshops.
- Actively supporting and championing efficient and effective ways of working and processes in the team.

Areas engagement and strategy

This includes:
- Ensuring allocated funding aligns to strategic objectives and delivers value for money by supporting monitoring, evaluating and escalating delivery risks/issues arising.
- Working with Local Authorities to help them seize future funding opportunities - and supporting programme delivery teams in DLUHC/DBT in the assessment of the strategic case of bids and flagging risks related to HMG investment.
- Supporting conversations with LAs to drive forward levelling up ‘policy’.
- Supporting conversations with local partners, escalating related risks and identifying the impact on services in these places e.g. business support.

Intelligence gathering and using this to inform policy and briefing

Area Teams play a key role in supporting place-based intelligence on all aspects of Levelling Up, including on themes related to the local economy. Through engagement with local partners, growth hubs reports and wider research, they gather a valuable qualitative insight into how places ‘feel’ and how policy is /isn’t having an impact. They use this to produce a number of products to inform HMG policy making. HEOs within Area Teams provide valuable resource to enable better place based and information led decision making.

They might do this in the following ways:
- Providing high quality local intelligence and supporting briefing and engagement (including Ministerial visits)
- Supporting parliamentary business and drafting correspondence.
- Ensuring good information management of intelligence - so that it’s readily accessible for others if required urgently.

HEOs draw on a range of intelligence sources and may represent HMG at key local stakeholder meetings where our partners, namely in local government, in the region discuss the local economic picture. They will also maintain good working relationships with our key sector teams (e.g. Automotive) to ensure the challenges facing business nationally are understood through the lens of place

**Person specification**:

- Organisational skills and management experience, including delivering through a small and potentially geographically dispersed team, with focus on supporting inclusive and diverse teams.
- Confidence and resilience working at pace to respond to tasks, occasionally to short deadlines.
- Communication and
