Policy Advisor Social Domain

GroningenHybrid34 hours/week<3months

Translate societal issues into policies that truly help residents and implementation. Do you want to work on policy assignments within the social domain and contribute to better support for residents? At a consulting firm, you will have the opportunity to work as a Policy Advisor Social Domain on assignments for municipalities and public organizations. You will be employed by us or work on a project contract basis.

From this foundation, we will deploy you on secondment or interim assignments that match your experience, expertise, and development ambitions. This way, you combine the variety of working on different societal challenges with the security, guidance, and development opportunities of the consulting firm.

What you do

As a Policy Advisor Social Domain, you will work on policies within areas such as Wmo (Social Support Act), Youth, Participation, Welfare, Social Base, prevention, or social support. You will help municipalities develop, improve, and implement policies. In doing so, you will not only look at what is administratively or legally correct, but also at what works for residents, implementers, and collaboration partners.

You will gather signals from practice, analyze developments, and translate them into clear and actionable policy proposals. You will collaborate with policy advisors, executive teams, contract managers, care and welfare partners, and regional partnerships.

  • Draft, revise, and further develop policy within the social domain
  • Translate societal developments into local policy
  • Advise management, board, and collaboration partners
  • Draft policy notes, implementation frameworks, college proposals, and council proposals
  • Contribute to transformation assignments such as prevention, appropriate support, and inclusive service provision
  • Monitor results, quality, and agreements with partners
  • Improve processes and collaboration within the chain
  • Participate in regional consultations, project groups, and policy trajectories
  • Connect policy, implementation, and societal partners
  • Ensure that policy is actually implemented in practice

Do you already have extensive experience as a policy advisor or strategic advisor? Then we will look at assignments with more complexity, administrative advice, regional collaboration, or transformation assignments. Are you coming from implementation, policy support, or project work and want to grow into policy advice? Then we will look at assignments where you can translate your practical knowledge into policy, with appropriate guidance.

Profile

You believe that policy is only valuable if residents, implementers, and partners can benefit from it. You are analytical, socially engaged, and strong in communication. You understand that social policy requires substantive knowledge, a feel for implementation, and administrative sensitivity. You know how to bring different interests together and make complex issues concrete.

  • A completed hbo (higher professional education) or wo (university) degree, for example Social Work, Public Administration, SJD

  • Analytical ability and a sense of administrative relations
  • Good advisory and writing skills
  • Experience with chain partners, care providers, or regional collaboration is a plus

What they offer. We can deploy you based on a secondment construction: on a project contract or in permanent employment with the consulting firm. This gives you the variety of working on different assignments, but also the security and guidance of a committed employer. We will look together at your experience, ambitions, and the type of policy assignment that suits you. At the consulting firm, you will receive personal and committed guidance.

You will have a fixed sparring partner who will think with you about assignments, development, and what you need to work with pleasure and impact.
