We pride ourselves on being a friendly, supportive and high performing team. The Local Government Stewardship division plays a key role in ensuring that councils can continue delivering services in a funding and policy environment that is increasingly challenging. Our risk team has the job of understanding where councils may be falling short in their ability to manage their finances and meet the ‘best value’ duty on local authorities to deliver efficient, effective, and economical services. Our work is demanding, complex and politically sensitive both locally and nationally as we work to identify councils at risk of failure.

- Developing and drafting ministerial policy advice and parliamentary materials.;

- completing risk assessments on local authorities to evaluate their governance and service delivery capabilities in relation to ‘best value’ duty.

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

These are demanding roles that require personal resilience and the ability to operate in an uncertain and reactive environment. We are looking for people who are comfortable delivering at pace and who can demonstrate good judgement.
