Description
Strategy and Communications
Strategy and Communications sits at the centre of the organisation, bringing together several teams with organisation-wide remits and mutual collaboration opportunities.
The work of the directorate's teams includes delivery of major events; designing and leading public affairs and marketing campaigns; providing data, evidence and analysis; leading cross-organisational programmes; and making sure we plan for, and can respond to, emerging events and emergencies in our city.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a collaborative and committed team that is responsible for supporting the Deputy Mayor for Fire and Resilience in their oversight of London Fire Brigade (LFB); and for coordinating and contributing to policies that relate to the safety of Londoners.
You will also develop an insight into the operations of one of the world's busiest fire services; and explore how these operations intersect with other parts of the GLA.
LFB, and the fire sector as a whole, is undergoing significant and wide-ranging transformation.LFB is in the process of responding to the recommendations of the Grenfell Tower Inquiry, and inspections from His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services; and making improvements to its culture.
As it makes improvements to its culture, it is critical that LFB is properly supported in navigating this change. More widely, LFB is working to meet challenges posed by climate change, new technologies, and London's complex built environment.About the role
This role is part of an exciting team expansion. It is an opportunity to make a genuine contribution to the development of the team and its work programme.
You will lead a portfolio of work relating to oversight and assurance of LFB and wider fire policy - including support for the statutory Deputy Mayor for Fire and Resilience in their decision making and oversight role, and in policy and strategy development.
We are recruiting for two roles with the same job description, but different responsibilities.
One is focused on supporting the Deputy Mayor's decision making; and the other will lead on performance and assurance monitoring.
If you have a preference for one of these roles please indicate this in your statement.We are looking for people with excellent analytical skills and an ability to provide impartial advice.
Just as important, however, is your ability to think creatively to develop shared solutions to problems, and to influence policy development in a political environment.
What your day will look likeIf you would like to apply for the role you will need to submit the following:
Please ensure your CV and personal statement documents are saved with the job reference number as part of the naming convention (E.g. "CV - applicant name - (phone number removed))
Please note, if you do not provide both a CV and a personal statement, you will not be considered for the role so please ensure the above has been submitted before the deadline
