We are looking to recruit two new policy officers to join the Policy and Performance team and take on responsibility for the day-to-day development and coordination of policy related activity.

You will be working in a fast-paced environment where you can make your research, analysis, report writing, and communications skills speak for themselves and make a difference to the Council’s future strategy and policy direction.

You will manage, co-ordinate and support a wide range of policy and strategy initiatives, as well as providing expertise, advice, and support to officers and Members, to help deliver the Council’s strategic priorities.

The successful candidates will ensure high level advice, briefing and analysis is available to support senior officers, elected members and key stakeholders in achieving the authority’s strategic objectives as set out in Our Council Plan.

You will engage with a wide range of partners, including the new North East Combined Authority, to develop effective relationships to enable the development and delivery of city-wide priorities - finding creative solutions while navigating competing external priorities.

You will help set the business planning framework for the council and support its delivery in order to support the organisation in planning and articulating its medium-term future.

We are looking for candidates who have excellent interpersonal skills, feel comfortable meeting and engaging with senior officers and members, can undertake a diverse range of tasks, and deliver high quality work at pace. If you have a positive outlook, good personal resilience and are able to adapt to different challenges, then this could be the role for you.
