**Job summary**:
The Grenfell Tower fire in 2017 exposed serious fire safety issues in blocks of flats nationwide. The government has set up five remediation funding programmes to fix unsafe cladding but some building owners responsible for fire safety have been slow to act despite available funding.

The Enforcement Strategy Team's role is to leverage enforcement to push building owners into making their buildings safe and we play a pivotal role in the success of the government’s multibillion pound remediation programmes. To achieve this, we work with a wide range of partners including regulators responsible for enforcement (local authorities, fire and rescue services, and the Building Safety Regulator), the five government remediation funds, and teams across the department and wider government.

The system is complex, but we've recently streamlined our operational enforcement strategy to integrate remediation programmes and regulators. We are looking for a Senior Policy and Strategy Advisor to lead the next phase of work on this strategy. Your role will be to design systems to identify and deal with unsafe buildings not progressing to remediation, giving assurance that no building is missed and that our interventions are coordinated.

You will work with a range of delivery partners to implement the strategies you design. You'll ensure the right processes are in place, the right data is shared, and provide assurance that the strategy is working.

We are part of the Enforcement and Freeholder Strategy Division, a high-profile, friendly team. Our work has significant ministerial and senior interest, as increasing the pace of remediation is a top priority for the department.

**Job description**:

- Lead the design and oversee implementation of the operational enforcement strategy for the remediation portfolio.
- Design a new strategy for identifying ‘missing buildings’ (unsafe buildings unknown to government remediation funds) and integrate the strategy into the existing operational enforcement strategy.
- Work with operational teams, regulators and remediation funds to implement and support delivery the missing buildings strategy.
- Develop data integration to prevent any buildings from falling through the cracks, working closely with analysts and remediation funds.
- Monitor and evaluate the success of the operational enforcement strategy.
- Provide assurance as to the success of the strategy and lead continuous improvement efforts.
- Build and maintain effective relationships with a wide range of stakeholders.
- Establish and maintain appropriate governance.
- Line manage a team member, manage their work, and contribute to their development.

**Person specification**:

- ** Excellent stakeholder engagement skills**: you will be able to build productive relationships with a wide range of internal and external partners to deliver government objectives.
- ** Collaboration and working together**: you will be able to work collaboratively with a wide range of teams and bring others along with you.
- ** Managing a complex programme of work**: you will be able to manage a complex portfolio, take a system-level approach to managing multiple workstreams simultaneously, and take a big picture overview of how it fits together.
- ** Leadership and delivering through others**: you will have strong leadership skills and will be able to use those skills to deliver through internal and external partners.
- ** Solving complex problems and leading through ambiguity**: you will need to be able to solve complex problems, and work with others to design and implement solutions.
- ** Interest in system design**: you will need to be interested in system design and ensuring processes work effectively.

**Behaviours**:
We'll assess you against these behaviours during the selection process:

- Seeing the Big Picture
- Changing and Improving
- Leadership
- Working Together
