2 months ago

Birmingham, United Kingdom Prospectus Full time

Are you a dynamic leader with a passion for policy development and strategic direction?

Prospectus is delighted to be partnering with The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents (RoSPA) in the recruitment for a Head of Policy, to lead their policy work in all areas. The Royal Society for the Prevention of Accidents is the original safety charity, preventing the loss of millions of lives and serious injuries since 1916. Their mission is to create a safer society by preventing accidents. This is an exciting and unique opportunity to save lives by developing and delivering a transformative policy programme, alongside representing RoSPA nationally and internationally as an influencer within the political realm. This position is offered as a permanent, full-time opportunity, with remote work available in which you can be based anywhere within the UK, with travel required to the offices based in Birmingham roughly once a week.

As the Head of Policy, you will lead RoSPA’s policy work in all areas, ensuring that the team are well motivated and managed. You will be responsible for setting the strategic direction for the development of RoSPA’s policy work, working to put membership at the heart of everything the charity does, supporting the policy input into RoSPA’s commercial products, services, and partnerships, and overseeing the policy contribution to the charity’s grant income streams to ensure that funded programmes are delivered successfully. You will work collaboratively with other teams, including research, public affairs, campaigns, press, and programme teams, to ensure the effective delivery of policy initiatives. You will drive horizon scanning and the strategic development of RoSPA's policy asks and offers on all elements of accident prevention, working closely with research and public affairs teams to develop evidence-based policy asks and campaigns. You will establish and maintain relationships with national, regional, and local government stakeholders to ensure effective influence on policy. This role will entail representing RoSPA nationally and internationally as an influencer within stakeholder networks, via the media and within the political realm.

To be successful in this role, you will be an experienced policy professional, with significant experience in policy development and leadership. You will have a solid understanding of policy as a practice, rather than detailed knowledge of specific policy thematic areas. You will have a proven track record of influencing government policy at various levels, together with strong leadership and team management skills. You will need to be confident in understanding policy development processes and be able to drive strategic direction in alignment with organisational objectives. You will be exceptional in your communication skills to establish and maintain effective relationships with government stakeholders, grant partners, and other key stakeholders, and be able to conduct horizon scanning and strategic planning to develop evidence-based policy asks and campaigns, staying ahead of emerging trends and issues in accident prevention. You should also have experience in budget management and business planning.
