The work of the directorate's teams includes delivering 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. About the team 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 Londoners' safety. You will have the opportunity to develop relationships across the GLA and LFB. 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 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.

This work will include an events programme; commissioning research; and producing publications and consultation responses. Your work, while focused on fire, will relate to various policy areas related to London's safety. These may include, for example, the safety of London's built environment; how climate change is increasing the risk of wildfires; or how to store and charge e-bikes safely to support sustainable travel. What your day will look like Developing and delivering a programme of work in response to fire-related issues, including events, workshops, lobbying strategies and stakeholder engagement. Contributing to the development of policy, strategies and decisions; and reviewing and evaluating their implementation. Providing advice to the Deputy Mayor for Fire and Resilience, the Head of Fire, and GLA senior managers (including preparing clear and concise reports, presentations and briefings on complex and sensitive issues for various audiences; and making recommendations on policy and strategy options). Conducting research into policy issues; and presenting the outcomes to the Mayor, the Deputy Mayor, GLA officers and wider audiences.

Presenting the results of work on the Mayor's policies, objectives and concerns at conferences, seminars and meetings to external bodies and organisations. Skills, knowledge and experience 1. A successful track record, in a high-profile organisation, of influencing and shaping policy, and ensuring its implementation - although not necessarily in fire and rescue. 2. Evidence of working with stakeholders, and building partnerships, to leverage external knowledge and resources to deliver GLA objectives. 3. A successful track record of providing high-quality, impartial advice in a sensitive political environment, at a senior level. 4.
