ADCS Policy and Press Officer
As a Policy and Press Officer at the Association of Directors of Children’s Services (ADCS), you’ll be a vital member of a small team who work at a national level with ADCS members in councils right across England, government officials and other key partners e.g. the Local Government Association.
Relationship building and communication is at the heart of everything we do and so is vital to this role. The successful candidate will support two of the Association’s national policy committees focused on all things education and on the workforce right across children’s services. The successful candidate will also work with our part-time Press Officer and journalists from key trade titles and national media outlets to promote the work of ADCS, and children’s services, as well as the rights and interests of children, young people.
You’ll enjoy autonomy and the chance to influence the Association’s priorities and engagements nationally. We welcome your ambition and are open to your ideas and will offer you plenty of support along the way. You can look forward to a package that includes flexible hybrid working, a high-quality Manchester city centre-based office environment, a competitive salary and pension scheme, along with a generous annual leave allocation in addition to bank holidays.
To join us, you’ll need a degree level education plus relevant experience of working in a policy or press and comms function, or ideally both. If you don’t have both but are great at one and interested in the other, we’d welcome hearing from you. Your passion for public service and children’s issues and rights is key and should be matched by your knowledge of the policy and legislative context of the sector.
At ADCS, we want all our employees to feel valued and appreciated. We aim to ensure equality of opportunity and prevent discrimination of all forms. We strive to create a workplace where everyone feels empowered to be their full, authentic selves.
Application process
Please note, applications received without a tailored covering letter will not be considered. Interviews will take place on 21 st or 23 rd May 2024 in Central Manchester and will consist of a test and panel interview.
