WTF is this job about?
Discussion
Reviewing, updating and writing policies to comply with legislation and the Council's strategic objectives?
I'd hazard a guess that the role holder would spend about 30% of his/her time sat in meetings with various Heads of service and 70% researching legislation, writing new policies and updating existing policies.
I haven't read the details but I'd expect the job to be anything from £30k to about £50k depending on how senior/influential the position is.

Close - 70% of the time would be spent wishing for the sweet release of an early death.I'd hazard a guess that the role holder would spend about 30% of his/her time sat in meetings with various Heads of service and 70% researching legislation, writing new policies and updating existing policies.

It reads like it's quite a big job but there's probably hundreds of them working for Essex (or any other) CC. The starting salary is £28.5K which is a senior admin officer level.

because the public sector is not one great big entity but a vast number of organisations, all with differing objectives and thus a single set of processes is impractical As an example:
Ministry of Defence = buy stuff to kill people
Department of Education = teach kids things
DVLA = register cars and things
Foresetry Comission = manage trees etc
Sport England = funding distribution

This in normal speak means the job holder is going to be doing everything and anything that they can think of. I would guess at least 60% of their time in meetings and 40% writing policies which will be read and rewritten by at least 4 more senior people before they are acted upon or sent out for consultation.
I would suggest you could take this job turn up for 12 months and actually acheive very little of any worth.

In a large multi-national or coperate company this kind of work would be done by an experienced HR person and maybe shared with marketing and legal. Every American coperate I've worked for has external consultants on things like ethics policy and training.
It's not invaluable work to make sure that policies are researched and drafted correctly, especially in a council or civil service where you've got all the welfare and protection policy stuff to consider. Sounds to me like it might be quite an interesting job.

Key Accountabilities
Develop new ideas and policies for delivering the Council’s priorities, thereby promoting Essex’s standing as a leader in the local government sector.
How about scrapping non-jobs like this and spending the money on proper priorities like emptying the bins or even better and not bothering with jobs like this at all and stop fleecing the hard working public for so much money, which is top of people's priorities.Develop new ideas and policies for delivering the Council’s priorities, thereby promoting Essex’s standing as a leader in the local government sector.
