You will be an exemplar for the public service ethos by committing to:

a respect for the autonomy and potential of the people and communities of Scotland, and the ambition to help maximise both;
an ambition to improve the lives and opportunities of the people and communities of Scotland, and a commitment to work with them to achieve their aspirations; and

8. Support councils to access levy-funded prevention services and monitor progress of local gambling harm initiatives.

9. Capture data to support Public Health Scotland evaluation of the levy system and evaluate COSLA-led projects.

10. Provide secretariat support to the COSLA National Gambling Harms Prevention Steering Group.

11. Maintain effective relationships with partner organisations providing services to Local Government related to gambling harm, including working jointly with treatment and support organisations funded through the levy.

12. Ensure gambling harms prevention activity aligns with the wider work of COSLA’s Communities Team.

13. Work with others to develop COSLA policy around thematic issues and/or emerging priorities arising from COSLA’s strategic objectives and business planning processes; decisions made at Convention, Leaders or Executive Group meetings; and instructions from your line manager.

14. Lead specific policy development projects, as agreed with your line manager, and effectively communicate COSLA policy to member councils and relevant partners and stakeholders, including briefing colleagues and elected members as required.

15. Support COSLA’s political processes, including the production and presentation of reports.

16. Articulate arguments clearly and effectively in support of COSLA’s negotiating position with external partners and stakeholders on matters relevant to your role.

17. Create and maintain a framework of professional relationships and provide advice and guidance to partners as required.
