**About us**

At Tower Hamlets we are already winning awards, but our ambition is much greater than being good. We want to become a recognised leader in excellent public service and help improve more lives at a faster rate than ever before. We will achieve that by bringing together our residents, partners and other stakeholders to solve problems and create more opportunities.

Our team performs a central role in delivering change at pace across the entire council with a focus on digital innovation and partnership working to achieve the best outcomes we can for our residents and businesses.

Our new operating model brings together strategy and policy roles across the council in professional job families. They will benefit from professional leadership and development programmes co-ordinated by our Corporate Strategy and Transformation Service within the Chief Executive's Office.

We would like you to join us on this exciting journey. Bring your skills and expertise to Tower Hamlets to drive our transformation and make a real difference to people's lives in one of the most exciting areas of London.

**About the role**

An exciting opportunity has arisen in the Strategy & Communities Service (Chief Executive Directorate) for a strategy and policy practitioner to help deliver the Council’s Overview & Scrutiny function and our corporate equalities agenda.

Tower Hamlets has a strong scrutiny function which provides an important check and balance to our decision making and governance process. This role provides a fantastic opportunity to work with elected members and officers to ensure the effective and efficient management of the council’s scrutiny function. The role will support our scrutiny committees, enhance public accountability, and improve council strategy.

You will play a visible and impactful role, and work collaboratively across the Council and with partners to deliver specialist and effective strategy and policy interventions that achieve strategic objectives with maximum impact.

**About you**

As a strategy & policy practitioner, with knowledge and experience of scrutiny and equalities, you will have:

- The ability and willingness to work flexibly and to learn, develop and deliver at pace.
- An understanding of the overview and scrutiny function in local authorities and the council’s legal duty under the Equalities Act 2010 and associated national, regional and local operating contexts and statutory/regulatory frameworks.
- Good strategy & policy skillset including policy analysis, evidence-based policy making and strategic planning
- Collaborative leadership skills in complex partnership environments and astute political understanding.
- Experience of working on development of cross-cutting policy and corporate strategy and the ability to translate and articulate complex policy / information to a variety of audiences inside and outside of the council.
- Strong project management experience, and the ability to analyse and interpret information and translate into practical actions.
- A track record of delivering tangible outcome improvements for residents/service users.
