The Policy, Public Affairs and Engagement team is focused on creating lasting change for people with arthritis. We identify the policy changes that are needed, and influence decision-makers with public affairs tactics and by campaigning alongside people with arthritis. This role will support our public affairs targeted at Westminster to make real change happen, especially with the prospect of a general election on the horizon.

This is a fantastic opportunity to work with the team to raise our profile and key issues among decision-makers and drive forward putting the needs of people with arthritis on the political agenda.

**About the role**

In this exciting role, you will be a critical member of our influencing team, helping to bring the voice of people living with Arthritis right into the heart of Westminster. Working with the Public Affairs Manager, you will help to deliver the charity’s public affairs activities, building a strong profile with decision-makers to ensure our messages and policy priorities are front and centre of their thoughts.

You will co-implement exciting and engaging influencing strategies, working with colleagues to combine policy, public affairs, campaigning, media and social media in order to influence policy change. You will also play a key role in organising and delivering the charity’s activity at political party conferences.

**About you**

If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we’d love to hear from you:

- Strong communicator to build external relationships with politicians, civil servants and other decision-makers, and a good understanding of the parliamentary process, UK Government, and the health and social care environment to produce engaging materials and arrange events.
- Excellent organisational skills are essential, to deliver a programme of events, politician visits and other activities in Westminster and across the UK nations.
- Good attention to detail, and ability to adapt written and verbal communication styles for different audiences.
- Ability to work with colleagues to develop external briefings, internal briefings and engaging materials for parliamentarians and policy-makers, with the ability to synthesize often complex policy information.
- Proven ability of monitoring and analysis of the external policy, political and parliamentary landscape across the UK nations, alerting breaking news and important developments.
- A flexible approach is essential, to adapt to the needs of the charity and any unforeseen developments.

*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.
