About Us
Tower Hamlets Partnership is a dynamic and diverse borough that has attracted people from all backgrounds. Our council acknowledges the importance of the voluntary and community sector (VCS) to the borough and has closely worked with it. We have a vision to support and invest in a thriving and diverse VCS to help improve outcomes for residents.
Our investment in the VCS takes a range of forms, including grants, premises, and rent subsidies. We have a portfolio of about 70 premises that are occupied by VCS organisations, mostly at a substantially discounted rent. Our new Mayor's Community Grants Programme is one of the largest local authority VCS funding programmes in the country, amounting to over £3.5m per annum.
About the Role
We are seeking a Senior Strategy and Policy Officer to support the sector through taking a strategic approach to providing premises for community use. This may include developing strategies and policies on the use of council properties by the VCS, providing guidance and advice for the VCS in terms of the use of council assets, and giving training on the management and use of premises.
As a Senior Strategy and Policy Officer, you will closely work with council services, such as Asset Management and the corporate centre. You will also work closely with local VCS organisations and umbrella bodies, particularly Tower Hamlets Council for Voluntary Service (THCVS).
About You
To fulfil this role effectively, you will need to:
• Have extensive knowledge of Voluntary and Community Sector issues and the sector's relationship with local government;
• Have experience of managing the use of council owned premises by VCS organisations;
• Be able to support VCS organisations to successfully use and manage premises provided by the council;
• Be able to undertake research and analysis of data and information and develop strategies and policies;
• Be able to work in partnership with internal and external stakeholders, including the VCS and other partners;
• Be able to identify problems and develop potential solutions;
• Be able to draft reports, briefings, and presentations for senior officers, managers, Members, Cabinet, and Scrutiny to support effective decision making.
Tower Hamlets Partnership's vision for our borough is that people are aspirational, independent, and have equal access to opportunities. We want people who aspire to our TOWER values: Together, Open, Willing, Excellent, and Respect.
