Job summary:

The Local Government Engagement Division has a reputation for excellent stakeholder management.

We help ensure local councils are involved in the cross-government policy development cycle, and that critical information flows freely between Whitehall and the local level.

We also hold responsibility for the Honours Secretariat, ensuring that excellence across the sector is recognised through the award of honours.

  • Help to develop the honours strategy for local government and support colleagues in other business areas in developing their strategy
  • Support the executive team and ministers with briefing and providing advice as needed
  • Be actively involved in supporting the division's wider work of communication and engagement with local government and Whitehall.
Specific tasks can be flexed to ensure that the post holder achieves their development goals.
