Charity People are delighted to be supporting AdviceUK, a small charity which improves the lives of people in need of advice through support to its members, to recruit a Policy and Public Affairs Manager.

Its stakeholder, policy and advocacy work is across devolved nations as well as the UK.

They support members, so it is easier for them to help their clients, and by directly influencing policy-makers, decision-makers and funders.

7m people were offered free advice by members on a diverse range of issues including debt, housing, benefits and immigration problems.

The organisation will be making a significant investment in capacity, new support services and innovation to deliver the support and advice that members, the wider advice sector and their communities need.

The Policy and Public Affairs Manager will manage policy and public affairs activities, ensuring AdviceUK has a strong voice, and messages are heard at a national and regional level across England, Scotland and Wales, leading to policy change for the benefit of people seeking advice and the communities served by members.

The post holder will develop policy solutions, a strong evidence base and effective stakeholder engagement, working collaboratively with AdviceUK colleagues to grow understanding of what members want, what is important to them and how AdviceUK responds.


Policy Development:

Collaborate with stakeholders to create authoritative policy positions, produce evidence-based policy materials, provide policy input for communications, stay informed on political trends, and represent at policy meetings.

Implement a proactive public affairs strategy, build relationships with government and other stakeholders, champion evidence-based advocacy, communicate public affairs work, and maintain an overview of political trends.

Champion an evidence-based approach to all AdviceUK's advocacy and external relations work, drawing on research and insight to inform our messages and policy recommendations.


Management:
Effectively manage and support team members, ensuring strong performance and professional development, while promoting values and behaviours.

The Policy and Public Affairs Manager will have at least 2 years' experience of delivering impactful policy and public affairs activities in a similar role, and experience and/or an understanding of the social welfare advice sector, the issues faced by advice providers and the communities they serve.

The successful candidate will have experience of delivering proactive stakeholder management and working with partners to deliver policy goals and/or research activity.

You will have experience of commissioning or delivering research and insight products and effective communication of research and insight activity to raise profile and amplify policy and advocacy goals.

You will have strong communication skills including using online forums, communities and events as an engagement tool. You will be able to use online reporting tools and CRMs and embrace new technologies and ways of working.
You will need to attend meetings/events in London and there will be some travel across the UK. Travel costs will be reimbursed.
Charity People actively promotes equality, diversity, and inclusion.

We match charity needs with the skills and experience of candidates, irrespective of age, disability (including hidden disabilities), gender, gender identity or gender reassignment, marriage and civil partnership, pregnancy and maternity, race, religion or belief, or sexual orientation.

We do this because we know greater diversity will lead to even greater results for the charities we work with.
