We are continuing to build a diverse DfE, in an inclusive environment which nurtures and realises potential in all, at all levels.

Equality and Diversity - Department for Education

The UK's Policy Lab is an exciting and inclusive organisation that sits within the Department for Education, but works across the whole of government and beyond. Our mission is to radically improve policymaking through design, innovation and people-centred approaches.

We are looking for a dynamic Project Producer to play a key role in the delivery of Policy Lab’s varied portfolio of innovation projects within government. You will be instrumental to our project teams, supporting Project Leads and specialists to deliver world-class policy innovation work. Policy Lab is a high energy and inspiring workplace, and you will need to be adaptable in carrying out a range of project activities. You may come to the team with an area of specialism such as research or design, or have a generalist background suitable for different project delivery tasks. This role can be London-based or located in DfE’s Leeds or Bristol offices.

**About Policy Lab**

Policy Lab is a multidisciplinary team that brings together expertise including in policy, lived experience research, experimentation, art, systems thinking, futures and design. Working in the Lab offers unique exposure to a range of important and interesting policy issues. Since 2014, the team has run more than 200 policy innovation projects with a wide range of teams across government, and each year the Lab runs around 25 individual projects and initiatives on varied policy issues. Policy Lab creates compelling and innovative project outputs, including visualisations, films, digital experiences, workshops and exhibition design. The focus of recent projects has included system change to produce better outcomes for people facing multiple disadvantage, achieving net zero in last mile logistics, and developing new plans for managing fishing stocks.

**Job description**:
This is a varied and fast-paced role. You will be required to bring your excellent project management and delivery skills, as well as your creativity, to a range of tasks within Policy Lab’s highly innovative projects.

You will be essential to the smooth running of these projects, undertaking varied project process and delivery activities.

You will also help to develop Lab’s internal systems by improving on our existing project processes. Where relevant to your interests and skills, you may also contribute to advancing Policy Lab’s innovation practice in areas such as design, film ethnography, and other areas of creative practice. Our project teams are typically 4-5 people and projects can run from 2-8 months; within any given year you can expect to work on a number of different policy areas.

Policy Lab has a wide range of skills. To ensure that our ground-breaking practices can be integrated into civil service policy and delivery environments, we always have both specialist skills and experienced policymakers from departments. You may come to the Lab with a specialism or creative practice of your own (for example in visual communication and data visualisation, experience design of workshops and exhibitions, future visioning or speculative prototyping).

You may also be a generalist interested in contributing to policy innovation projects more broadly. This is an ideal role for a junior researcher, designer or generalist, wanting to use and grow their skills within a policymaking context.

**Responsibilities**

Project roles in Policy Lab are highly varied, you can expect to undertake most of the following activities at different times, although this will depend on your skills and the needs of the project teams you are working with:

- Supporting aspects of Policy Lab’s specialist project work, including research or ethnography, design tasks or other specialist areas of creative practice
- Supporting aspects of Policy Lab’s project deliverables such as the creation of artefacts, presentations and project wrap ups
