Further Information
We are at the forefront of northern growth, and a flagship for successful devolution.
In May this year, residents in Tees Valley voted to elect their first Mayor, and the area established one of the first Mayoral Combined Authorities in the country. This gives us access to newly devolved powers and resources from Central Government, to drive forward an ambitious agenda that can increase economic growth and prosperity across the region.
The Tees Valley covers five local authorities – Darlington, Hartlepool, Middlesbrough, Stockton and Redcar & Cleveland – with a combined population of 660,000.
The Authority incorporates the highly successful Tees Valley Local Enterprise Partnership, and sustains strong links with the local business community and other partners. Together, we aim to create 25,000 jobs and £2.8bn extra growth by 2026.
This is an exciting opportunity to join the Combined Authority team. We are recruiting 3 Policy Officers:-
• One role will be specifically focussed on support to the five Local Council leaders, as Combined Authority Cabinet members;
• One role will focus on support for our partnership with the private sector, supporting the private sector LEP board members to enhance their contribution;
• One role will join the Mayors’ office as a policy advisor.

The posts will provide a comprehensive range of policy support in areas relevant to the work of the Mayor, Local Authority Leaders and the Local Enterprise Partnership. This will include policy analysis, the production of briefings and effective communication of policy implications.
You will have demonstrable experience of policy research and analysis from either Central Government, Local Government or the private sector, and a proven track record of establishing successful working relationships across public and private sectors.
Secondments will be considered for all of the roles.
A single application can be considered for more than one role. Please be clear which post or posts you are applying for in your application.
For detailed information on this role, please refer to the Job Description and Person Specification.
