Research and Policy Officer

3 weeks ago


London, United Kingdom International Longevity Centre - UK Full time

We know the numbers. We know the challenges. What happens next will define us for generations.

We need a Research and Policy Officer with excellent analytical ability and strong writing skills who has a passion for, and understanding of, public policy, to join the UK’s specialist think tank on the impact of longevity on society.

The post holder must be able to work at pace, undertaking research, analysing evidence, assessing key trends, and working out what this means for society and who needs to do what.

There is a lot going on and plenty of opportunities to help deliver our ambitious plans.
- The UN and WHO are leading the Decade of Healthy Ageing,
- The Westminster Government has committed to supporting 5 years of extra “healthy years”.

But the context is a challenging one.

For example, in the UK over the past quarter of a century
- Inequalities in life expectancy and healthy life expectancy have grown.
- While more of us are working longer into our lives, 50-64-year-olds are still less likely to be in employment than people aged 25-49. Opportunities to learn to support longer working lives are limited.
- The public sector has built very few new homes and the private sector hasn’t been able to fill the gap for first
- or last-time buyers.

And globally
- Almost 60 million children of primary school age are not in school,
- Only 20% of older people in low-income countries receive a pension,
- Climate Change and antimicrobial resistance threatens progress made over the past 25 years.

**Closing Date** 13 March 2023

**Interview/Start Dates**

Interviews will be held on Friday 24 March.
