- Health cash plan scheme including dental, eye tests and therapy treatments
- Generous employer contributory pension scheme with up to 8% company contribution
- Life cover from your first day
This is a rare opportunity for a professional with research and organisational skills to build their career and help drive our organisation forwards and make a difference for our region.
The successful candidate will join a passionate team who are delivering an exciting and ambitious programme of work to make our region the best place for all who live, work and visit here.
We've got a great culture through which we demonstrate how much we value each and every employee with on-the-job training, great benefits and flexible working. We'll help you to succeed in your role and we even boast some great offices within outstanding grounds to help you remain inspired.
Our work regularly features in national government and media debates and will give your career highly valuable exposure and experience across a wide range of challenges, whilst also allowing you to live outside of London and benefit from our region's great quality of life.
About You
The Policy Analyst will be driven, engaged and have experience of conducting research, working with a wide range of stakeholders and knowing how to understand and explore complex issues, whilst building evidence that helps build the case for positive change. An interest in regional economic growth issues, planning and transport is also desirable.
