You will work at the Funding Policy and Systems team which is responsible for ensuring the AEB annual budget funds training that improves Londoners’ lives and drives forward London’s economy. The design and regular update of main strategic documents such as the GLA AEB Funding Rules and Rates is of particular importance for the successful delivery of many adult training and learning opportunities in the capital.

- Contribute to research and analysis of skills data reported on the Individualised Learner Record (ILR) and other sources to support AEB policy development
- Provide further research and analysis to help inform other elements of Adult Education Budget funding and commissioning policy.
- Lead and undertake research and provide support to the wider skills team on policy development that will help to realise the Mayor’s manifesto commitments relating to skills and employment, but with a focus on Adult Education Budget funding policy and systems.
- Establish, develop and maintain good working relationships within and outside the Authority, particularly with London’s boroughs and sub-regional partnerships, skills and adult education providers, business representative organisations, relevant government departments and agencies. Within the GLA, the post holder will work closely with GLA Economics and GLA Intelligence.
