Job description

We are currently searching for experienced Policy Leads that we are recruiting on behalf of the Department for Transport for a contract position running until the end of March 2021.

The role holders will be required to be flexible in responding to a variety of ad hoc challenges that arise as part of the development and implementation of Covid-19 related response. They are fast-paced and varied roles requiring an ability to prioritise and organise effective responses to varied commissions, often at short notice.

Imagine having a talent that could benefit someone you’ve never met and solve problems you didn’t even know existed. Well, you do, and you can. And we’re here to help you do just that. At PSR we are the go-to place for talented contractors and temps for a rich variety of civil service roles.

  • Horizon scan across wider UK Government and DfT policies to understand current and proposed support measures or other applicable policies and their impact on London.

 

You’ll have:

  • Experience of managing external stakeholders or ALBs.
  • Ability to be organised, keen to learn new skills and can deal with uncertainty. You keep in mind the bigger picture and look beyond the status quo to see how things could be improved.
  • Demonstrable experience managing and co-ordinating a range of conflicting demands at pace and ensure good outcomes.
  • Strong leadership skills, and the ability to inspire your team and produce work of the highest quality, suitable for senior official and ministerial audiences, including Directors General, DfT Ministers and N10.
  • Confidence in providing challenges where necessary to ensure the best outcomes are delivered.
  • Experience of using strong and dynamic communication skills to deliver your message, creating a strong sense of purpose, and influencing those around you.
