Policy Advisor – English Devolution – (Oflog) - #721608

A key focus of the work of the Office for Local Government (Oflog) are Mayoral Combined Authorities (MCAs) and other authorities with devolution deals.

This role will play a key part in Oflog’s work to increase understanding among citizens, civil society, central government and local government itself - about data on the performance of combined authorities and other authorities with devolution deals.

As a policy advisor, you will be responsible for bringing together ideas and evidence to support the delivery of priority policies relating to Oflog’s approach to authorities with a devolution deal, working with many different teams within Oflog and across Whitehall.

You will be comfortable working with a range of evidence and with analytical colleagues to assess the suitability of metrics and indicators on the performance of authorities with a devolution deal and build an understanding of the existing landscape of available data.

You will also be able to develop expertise in the different roles played by departments across government that support authorities with devolution deals and Government priorities for English devolution, whilst also being able to work both flexibly and reactively, picking up new issues as they emerge and responding to changing priorities.
