Would you like to help transform London to make it better prepared for the impacts of climate change. We’re looking for two Senior Policy and Programmes Officers to join City Hall’s Climate Change team to focus on climate change adaptation.

- Contribute to the provision of advice, written and oral, to the Mayor and his staff, senior managers, Members of the Assembly, and Functional Bodies, GLA staff, government departments, London-based and national organisations on environmental matters.
- Prepare responses to questions and correspondence to the Mayor and from Assembly members, Government departments and other organisations in the public, private and voluntary sectors. Build and maintain an up-to-date awareness of legislative, technical and policy changes in the environment field.
- Gather and assist to analyse effectively of relevant data and evidence to ensure that strategy, policy, projects and programmes are developed with a solid evidence base and are capable of evaluation.
- Realise the benefits of London’s diversity by promoting and enabling equality of opportunities and promoting the diverse needs and aspirations of London’s communities.
- Realise the benefits of a flexible approach to work in undertaking the duties and responsibilities of this job, and participating in multi-disciplinary, cross-department and cross-organisational groups and project teams.
