The Place Engagement Team leads MHCLG’s engagement with local authorities and MSAs. We understand our places and how national policies come together in a locality. We collate and share local intelligence from places to support MHCLG in delivering minister’s priorities, improving policy making and improving places for the people that live there.
As a Strategic Engagement Advisor, you will work closely with and support the Strategic Engagement Lead (G7) to provide the bridge linking local government in Nottinghamshire and Derbyshire (both MSAs and local authorities) with MHCLG and the communities we serve.
You will support the Strategic Engagement Lead to build and maintain trusted relationships with Chief Executives and Local Authorities across the whole area.
You will provide a valued contribution to discussions about how to prioritise and make strategic choices about where to engage to support places to improve.
You will have the opportunity to support or lead on a policy area and collaborate with policy and delivery colleagues to improve policy making in MHCLG and in some cases across government.
Depending on business needs, you may be asked to work flexibly to support departmental priorities.
This role will be based in our Nottingham office. Travel across the East Midlands and across Oxfordshire, Buckinghamshire and East of England will be required to meet local authorities and other stakeholders and attend visits and events. You will occasionally be required to attend other MHCLG locations, for example London/ Manchester/Leeds/Bristol for meetings or events.
