London, United Kingdom British Heart Foundation Full time

Do you have experience in policy? Are you passionate about researching and developing policy positions? Are you looking to put you mark on the work of one of the country’s largest charities?

If so, you may be the Policy Officer (Prevention) we need

**About the role**

We have an exciting opportunity within the Policy and Public Affairs Team for a Policy Officer (Prevention) to work closely with the Prevention Policy Manager to research, develop and disseminate policy positions to drive through the strategic aims and policy positions of British Heart Foundation.

You’ll play a pivotal role in developing external partnerships with experts in other funding bodies, research institutions and the scientific community to understand the needs of research in the heart and circulatory disease sector and provide support for relevant policy positions.

**Working arrangements**

This is a blended role, where your work will be dual located between your home and our London Office.

The use of our office spaces is driven in part by your role and the activities you need to do. This may vary from time to time, so you must be prepared to work in a flexible way to unlock your best work for our cause. Most of our colleagues on blended contracts can expect to spend some time in their office each week, on average.

**About you**

With demonstrable knowledge of topics relevant to our population-level health portfolio: obesity and diet, tobacco, and public health systems and researching and drafting new policy positions as well as an excellent technical grasp of your policy portfolio, you will be looking to continually develop the portfolio further.

With a strong understanding of the ability to identify gaps and drive change you will have excellent time management, communication, and negotiation skills and develop good working relationships with colleagues.

Working on your own initiative, you’ll also have excellent research, analytical and interpersonal skills. Able to prioritise a busy and complex workload effectively and with previous stakeholder engagement experience.

**About us**

Every single one of us is vulnerable to the heartbreak caused by heart and circulatory diseases - they are the world’s biggest killers. But the research we fund represents hope. And nothing matters more than finding cures and treatments that give us more time with the people we love.

We value and respect every individual’s unique contribution, celebrate diversity, and make inclusion part of what we do every day.

Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy, Igniting Change, along with our internal EDI group, Kaleidoscope, and a growing number of employee network groups (our Affinity Groups), help us create an environment where all our colleagues and volunteers can succeed.

**What can we offer you**

As an organisation we're open to flexible working arrangements. In return we offer a generous holiday allowance, an excellent working environment and a welcoming supportive group of colleagues.

To find out more about benefits available at the BHF please download our benefits document at the bottom of this page.

**Interview process**

The interview process will be held over MS Teams between 15th - 17th March 2023.
