Re: Application for Senior Policy Adviser

Dear Ms. Cole,

I am writing to apply for the Senior Policy Adviser position. For the past eight years, I have worked at the intersection of local government, public services, and evidence-led policy.

At the Scottish Local Partnership, I advise councils on practical service reform and lead research that brings frontline experience into national policy discussions. I would welcome the opportunity to help Civic Futures turn robust evidence into recommendations that communities can feel.

Thank you for considering my application. I would be pleased to discuss my experience and the institute’s current priorities.

Qualifications

  • Co-authored a national framework adopted by 18 local authorities
  • Led a cross-sector research program with 27 community partners
  • Briefed parliamentary committees on public-service access and equity

Yours sincerely,

Oliver Grant

Senior Policy Adviser
