Strategy and Communications 
Strategy and Communications sits at the centre of the organisation, bringing together several teams with organisation-wide remits and mutual collaboration opportunities.
The work of the directorate’s teams includes delivery of major events, designing and leading public affairs or marketing campaigns, providing data, evidence and analysis, leading cross-organisational programmes, to making sure we plan for and can respond to emerging events or emergencies in our city. We particularly encourage applications from individuals from groups currently underrepresented in our workforce.&nbsp;
<h2>About the team</h2>
London Resilience Unit supports the work of London's key agencies in assessing risks, working to reduce the likelihood or impact of those risks and, where risk can't be eliminated, preparing arrangements to respond, recover and learn from emergencies.
<h2>About the role</h2>
This is a key management and leadership role at the centre of innovation in how London prepares for emergencies. It will suit someone who takes pride in delivering complex, high-impact projects in a multi-agency environment.
The Trailblazer Programme is a one-year, externally funded initiative (with potential for extension to be agreed) focused on embedding improvements in leadership, accountability and integration across London’s resilience system. The programme will support the delivery of our 2025 London resilience strategy and bring together learning from the Covid-19 and Grenfell Tower inquiry recommendations to improve London’s resilience.
As Resilience Manager (Trailblazers) you will lead the coordination of this project, &nbsp;overseeing planning, management, governance reporting and risk management. You will be responsible for ensuring projects within the programme align with and deliver against our strategic and funding requirements, and that the programme delivers measurable value for both funders and Londoners.
You will lead relevant officers within London Resilience Unit, GLA and external stakeholders (including emergency services, local and national government, community sector organisations and others). You will report to the Head of Governance, Assurance and Partnerships team, but be required to work right across London Resilience Unit.
We're looking for someone who can bring clarity and structure to complex delivery and who is confident in managing internal and external relationships, navigating governance structures and driving progress.

You will need to be unrelenting in your focus on what matters most: making a meaningful difference to the educational outcomes of learners known to Medway Virtual School.We are a lively and growing team. We are looking for enthusiastic and committed people to join us in our work for the children and young people known to Medway Virtual School (MVS). This role demands a person who is empathetic, resilient, and able to build strong relationships across education and social care settings. You will need excellent communication skills, a collaborative mindset, and the confidence to challenge schools and partners when necessary to secure the best outcomes for learners. The vacancies are due to both expansion of the team and promotion of staff. Please review the job description(s) carefully to make sure this is the role for you. The Virtual School plays a vital role in championing the education of children and young people who are in care, previously in care, or have a social worker. Rather than being a physical school, we operate as a strategic service within the local authority, working across multiple schools and settings to ensure these vulnerable learners receive the support they need to thrive academically and emotionally. By tracking progress, promoting high-quality personal education plans, and fostering strong partnerships between schools and social care, the Virtual School helps bridge the gap in attainment and opportunity.

All of our work focusses on securing improved educational outcomes for this cohort.You will join other members of the team who work with schools, social workers and carers – the list is long – however the goal is the same, significantly improved educational outcomes for children and young people. You will ensure professionals across the network are supported in their own work around children and young people, so that children and young people are in appropriate education, engaged in their learning and thrive in opportunities around them. The day may not always go to plan. You will always need to respond quickly and with insight. You need to prevent any drift or delay in ensuring each child or young person has access to appropriate education. We need our children and young to be engaged in their learning and confident to access the opportunities available to them. Your own actions will be varied and will require determination and tenacity to secure the best outcome. You will provide direct advice, support and training to a range of professionals and our cohort. There will be differences and complexities in situations so you will need to be creative and innovative to ensure the best next step is identified and taken. You will be managing information from different sources to ensure that information is up to date and readily available; responding to general enquires and providing specialist advice.There will always be ‘change ahead’ and in this you will be surrounded by creative and child centred colleagues.
