You will play an important role to get more people - residents, journalists, councillors, everyone - engaged and enthused about the work of councils.

- Support our social and user research ambitions. We plan to conduct public surveys and focus groups - you will have a key role in thinking through the questions and evidence we want to gather and participate in facilitating events
- Develop strong knowledge about the local government sector, the misuse of information policy landscape, and the digital/website design profession

As this is a new workstream, the tasks and requirements in this role may flex and change over time. You will have considerable scope to influence and design your own role based on your interests.

You will also have the opportunity to help develop Oflog’s newly emerging culture and environment; we encourage all colleagues to play a role in the growth and development of Oflog, and bring about the work ethos they want to see.

- Think and look strategically across the work programme to plan and prioritise work. You are organised and enjoy horizon scanning
- Most importantly, you will be interested in local government and thinking about how we can get the public more interested and engaged with councils
