Westminster Abbey, United Kingdom Marine Conservation Society Full time
Parliamentary Affairs Officer
Westminster, London Commutable (Hybrid flexible working with occasional travel in the UK)
The Organisation
We are the Marine Conservation Society, a UK charity fighting for a cleaner, better-protected, healthier ocean: one we can all enjoy.
Right now, our ocean is at a tipping point. We’re polluting our waters and destroying precious habitats. We're harming the species that live there. This is reducing the ocean's ability to help fight the climate crisis. While a third of UK seas are protected on paper, less than 1% are well managed. We are determined to change this. Using people-powered action and with science on our side, we defend habitats and species, working with communities, businesses and governments to encourage ocean-based climate action solutions across the UK.
We are now looking for a Parliamentary Affairs Officer to join our Parliamentary Affairs Team in Westminster on a full-time, permanent basis, working 35 hours per week.
The Benefits
- Salary of up to £28,000 per annum
- Annual leave starting at 25 days per year, plus Bank Holidays pro rata (we also close between Christmas and New Year as extra time off)
- 6% employer contributions to our stakeholder pension scheme
- Sick pay at full-pay for 8 weeks, then 8 weeks at half-pay (after probation ends)
- Great work life balance through flexible and in many cases, remote working
- Support for your health and wellbeing with a programme of activities plus an employee assistance programme for you and the people who live with you
This is an incredible opportunity for an experienced public affairs and government relations professional with excellent relationship building skills to join a team which is passionate about marine conservation and making a real difference in the world.
You'll be at the forefront of our efforts to compel government action on marine and environmental issues, using your skills to shape policies and drive meaningful change.
 
What’s more, you’ll be rewarded with an array of exceptional benefits, from hybrid and flexible working and generous annual leave to a plethora of wellbeing support

As our Parliamentary Affairs Officer, you will lead the delivery of our parliamentary affairs work in Westminster.

You’ll assist with the development of parliamentary and communication briefings on priority policy areas and secure meetings with MPs, civil servants and other stakeholders, driving our advocacy efforts and promoting our agenda at the parliamentary level.
Additionally, you will:
- Monitor parliamentary business and outputs and produce clear and concise summaries of key debates, reports and events
