**Job summary**:
The Office for Local Government (Oflog)'s vision is to help make local government even better. We will increase understanding about the performance of local authorities, warn when authorities are at risk of serious failure, and support local government to improve itself. To do that, Oflog's strategic objectives are:

- ** Inform**: to increase understanding - among citizens, civil society, central government and local government itself - about data on the performance of local authorities;
- ** Warn**: to help identify local authorities that are at risk of serious failure but have not raised the alarm themselves;
- ** Support**: to support local government to improve performance, productivity, and value for money: championing best practice, improving data capability and rationalising a complex data landscape.

The second will involve Early Warning Conversations: discussion with and visits to local authorities identified as potentially at risk, supported by expert local government reviewers.

**EWC Secretariat role (1 vacancy)**
- Supporting the preparation of evidence packs that will allow the reviewers to conduct fair and robust conversations with local authorities.
- Leading logistics of onsite visits.
- Taking minutes during onsite visits
- Supporting the drafting of EWC report and any lessons learned exercises.

**Person specification**:
**Essential**:

- Strong oral and written skills including the ability to communicate detailed information succinctly and clearly.
- Ability to work collaboratively, build consensus and influence outcomes, with varied stakeholders both within and outside HM Government.
- Ability to balance different priorities and be able to demonstrate flexibility under pressure.
- Ability to balance competing demands whilst delivering high quality outputs.
- Strong organisational and management skills.

**Desirable**:

- Knowledge and demonstrable understanding of the local government sector.
