The Role

Reporting to the Head of Policy and Influencing, the Policy Manager leads the policy work and the development of UK-wide, evidence-based policy positions on key issues affecting stroke survivors or those at risk of stroke. Working closely with the Policy and Influencing team, devolved nations’ leads as well as other Association teams, they will consult with internal and external experts as well as stroke survivors as part of the policy development process and ensure final positions are disseminated and used effectively.

In a busy health policy arena, the Policy Manager oversees the identification and drafting of organisational consultation responses, ensuring submissions are backed up by evidence, informed by those affected by stroke and have impact with policy makers and audiences.

The Policy Manager is an astute, experienced policy lead. Providing expert policy advice and support to colleagues across the organisation including local system leaders, they contribute to effective horizon scanning and message development to ensure the organisation is prepared for announcements and events in the external environment. The Policy Manager will also represent the Association at external events and sit on like-minded coalitions. They also support the public affairs work when necessary, and provide policy support for the Chief Executive and other senior leaders by preparing presentations when required.

This role will be provided on a fixed term basis, to cover maternity leave within the team.

About You

As Policy Manager, you will be educated to degree level or relevant demonstrable industry experience and be willing to undertake training and continuing professional development. You’ll be a flexible team player and solutions-focussed.

You will ideally have experience of:

• Overseeing evidence-based policy positions, statements and consultation responses (or equivalent)

• Building relationships with senior policy stakeholders and stakeholder mapping and management

• Meaningfully involving beneficiaries in policy work

• Developing briefings for a range of audiences, for example parliamentarians and senior colleagues

• Experience of leading and motivating others

To fulfil the role, you must be a resident of the UK and have the right to work in the UK.

When you click to apply, you will be able to see the full responsibilities and person specification for further

information on the role.

Please submit your CV and a covering letter of no more than two pages demonstrating how you meet the person specification and what you bring to the role in terms of your skills and experience.

Finding strength through support

When stroke strikes, part of your brain shuts down. And so does a part of you. That’s because a stroke happens in the brain, the control centre for who we are and what we can do. It happens every five minutes in the UK and changes lives instantly. Recovery is tough, but with the right specialist support and a ton of courage and determination, the brain can adapt.

The organisation believes everyone deserves to live the best life they can after stroke. And it’s a team effort to get there.

The charity provide specialist support, fund critical research and campaign to make sure people affected by stroke get the very best care and support to rebuild their lives.

The Association is the only charity in the UK providing lifelong support for all stroke survivors and their families. It provides tailored support to tens of thousands of stroke survivors each year. This support includes one-to-one and group support, funding vital scientific research into stroke prevention, acute treatment, recovery and long-term care, and campaigning to secure the best care for everyone affected by stroke.

The team are here for stroke survivors and their loved ones, from the moment they enter the new and frightening post-stroke world, supporting them every step of the way as they find their strength and their way back to life.

It’s only thanks to the generosity of supporters and donors that they can provide vital support.

Individuality leads to a richer experience for people and better support for all those affected by stroke.

We strongly encourage people from all backgrounds to apply. We’re particularly looking to increase the number of applications from those with lived experience of stroke, and those from under-represented communities.

You may also have experience in areas such as Policy, Policy Manager, Policy Lead, Policy Officer, Policy and Influencing, Policy and Influencing Manager, Policy and Influencing Lead, Policy and Influencing Officer, Public Affairs.
