**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.

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.
