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.

An extensive knowledge of the DfE’s and Education and Skills Funding Agency’s funding policy and programmes is preferred in addition to excellent knowledge of skills and employment policy and a successful track record in policy development and delivery.

- Help ensure that the systems are in place to collect, store, manage and process data required in the implementation and design of AEB funding policy, including the approach to paying providers.
- 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.
- Provide high quality written and oral briefings, policy advice and reports for the Mayor and his advisors, GLA staff, government departments and London and national organisations, to include:

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
