You will play an involved role in making the best use of the Leader’s time and prioritising commitments. You’ll be a key point of contact for colleagues across the organisation to ensure the Leader is fully briefed on issues, and fostering positive relationships with a wide group of stakeholders will be essential to succeed in the role.

Quality assurance will be an important aspect of your work, including maintaining an overview of actions and outcomes that are being managed on behalf of the Leader. As Policy Advisor to the Leader of the Council, you will be expected to develop an expansive and detailed understanding of the Council priorities, both in terms of immediate issues and longer-term objectives. At all times, you will pay close attention to the principles of good governance, identifying risk, managing sensitive subject matter and ensuring that the political interface adheres to codes, standards, protocols and respect.

It's a role that will suit someone who thrives in a fast-paced working environment, where competing deadlines are the norm - the ability to make astute decisions in terms of priorities and managing the Leaders’s diary will be vital. It’s important that you have a well-informed appreciation of the dynamics of working within a political setting, supported by a good knowledge of public administrative law.

You’ll ensure effective contract management underpins the relationship, bringing clarity to contract objectives and measurement against these. You will also work closely with other strategic partners, such as Arts Council and Sport England and the many other local clubs, providers and volunteers operating in the borough.
