<h4>Job summary</h4>Do you excel at staying organised and focused, even when priorities shift, proactively planning your work while confidently managing competing demands? Are you highly adaptable and flexible, being able to adjust to the requirements of the role? If so, we have an exciting opportunity for a Senior Briefing and Correspondence Lead to join our team at the Ministry of Housing, Communities and Local Government (MHCLG) and we'd love to hear from you! Nearly a third of England’s population, around 20 million people, live in areas with two-tier local government with services and functions split across county and district council. This slows down decision making and delivery, leads to fragmented public services, sees money wasted on duplication and makes it unclear who is responsible for what and where accountability lies.Our ambition is to simplify local government, by ending the two-tier system and establishing new single-tier unitary councils. This is a once in a generation reform and our vision is clear: stronger local councils empowered across local services, equipped to drive economic growth, improve local public services and empower their communities. This is an exciting time to join Local Government Reorganisation (‘LGR’) and be part of delivering that change. The LGR team is responsible for leading outward-facing engagement with the areas developing proposals for new single-tier unitary authorities, advising Ministers on decisions regarding which reorganisation proposals to approve, engaging with the sector and key stakeholders, and supporting local government through transition planning to realise improvements in efficiency and effectiveness. It oversees the drafting of legislation that will give effect to those decisions, navigating complicated legal and parliamentary processes and ensuring Local Government Reorganisation strategically aligns with wider government dependencies. This is a high-profile programme that has grown substantially over the course of 2025, offering the opportunity to work at the heart of government reform, influence national policy, and shape the future of Local Government. The Communications and Engagement team leads on ensuring we are transparent in the process of reorganisation, addressing public and parliamentary concerns, and managing our engagement with the sector and key stakeholders to understand how we can make the programme a success.
