***:
**About the team**:
London’s skills and employment system plays a key role in supporting Londoners to get the skills they need to improve their lives and for London’s economy to thrive.

Our skills system is the highest performing in the country and the Mayor of London has recently reached the important milestone of having supported the participation of over 1 million learners through his adult education programmes, since taking control of London’s Adult Education Budget (AEB) in 2019. Through further devolution of powers, funding and decision making, we want to support even more Londoners to transform their lives.

The work of the strategy, policy and relationships team includes writing the strategies and developing new thinking that brings to life the Mayor’s vision for skills and employment. We also lead public affairs, community engagement, and marketing campaigns, providing data, evidence and analysis, to make sure we are responding to London’s needs.

The team is warm and inclusive and has had led on a number of policies that have made London’s skills programmes the most accessible in the country, supporting over 1 million learners to participate in life changing training.

**About the role**:
We are looking for a dynamic and skilled Principal Policy Officer to join our friendly Strategy, Policy and Relationships Team. The team manages strategy, policy and governance arrangements within the GLA’s skills and employment unit, which runs a range of flagship programmes to deliver high quality adult education in London.

The team includes a range of responsibilities, including strategy planning, policy development and communications, as well as governance and stakeholder engagement.

You will be expected to lead programmes, projects and policies to deliver the Mayor’s priorities for skills and employment in the capital, with a particular focus on shaping and securing greater devolution of powers, funding and decision making over skills and employment.

The post holder will work closely and develop relationships with local and national government partners including London Councils and sub-regional groupings of boroughs to develop a coherent approach for the future skills landscape in London, governance and implementation of devolution strategies.

You will have a successful track record in managing teams and policy development and lead a team of two Senior Policy Officers to produce evidence and research that supports skills and employment policy priorities.

**What your day will look like**:
You will:

- Lead strategy and policy development work on skills and employment devolution in London. Work closely with local and national government stakeholders, and others to develop shared policy positions and lobbying priorities.
- Brief the Mayor’s Office on policy relating to employment and skills in London and national government policy responses.
- Ensure that employment and skills commitments made in the Skills Roadmap for London, the Mayor’s Manifesto and Skills for Londoners Strategy are delivered.
- Identify opportunities for the development of skills and employment programmes.
- Manage GLA relationships with local and national government stakeholders; and identify and develop options for the Mayor to influence and promote London specific activity by these delivery organisations.
- Prepare regular updates for senior management on progress in the delivery of skills and employment priorities. Ensure risks and issues are identified, discussed and actioned as necessary, including ensuring a clear escalation process to senior management when risks cannot be solved at working level.
- Support the work of the Skills for Londoners Board and Jobs and Skills Business Partnership, and associated subordinates.
- Contribute to the GLA’s work on devolution, and support the joining up of work by the different teams involved in devolution and skills matters within the GLA and across the GLA group.
- Provide high quality client support for relevant senior stakeholders in the GLA, including:

- drafting timely responses to Mayoral questions and correspondence
- providing concise briefings and responses to questions
- providing meeting management and secretariat functions for key meetings
- representing the GLA at external events and meetings
- making timely responses to the London Assembly’s scrutiny f
