Our twin priorities are making sure that local councils are involved in the cross-government policy development cycle, and that critical information flows freely between Whitehall and the local sector. This is high profile work, which cuts across the heart of major government policy agenda items from Levelling Up, Resettlement/Asylum, LG Finance, Public Health, service delivery (Adults and Children), climate change, Honours, Cyber, and into evolving local government policy for the future.

This role requires an excellent stakeholder engagement professional leading relationships with a variety of external stakeholders including council chief executives, senior officials in other government departments, devolved administrations, Local Resilience Forums and representative bodies.

- Improve and plan the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities’ (DLUHC) and other government departments’ strategic engagement with councils.
- Build effective and trusting relationships with one or two established regional chief executive representatives, as well as individual council chief executives in these regions, to capture emerging issues and intelligence relating to a range of policy areas.
- Work alongside policy owners to oversee political and senior officer engagement with the local government sector on a range of areas including, for example, levelling up, housing, planning, and asylum/resettlement, to ensure:

- Policy development factors in local intelligence
- Early engagement with councils, the Local Government Association and key networks where possible (through ad hoc engagement and working groups)
- Policies are understood and communicated well to councils
- Represent DLUHC on regional calls with key stakeholders, including local authorities, the Local Government Association and other government departments.
