London, United Kingdom Webrecruit for Local Trust Full time

**Senior Policy and Parliamentary Officer**
London, SE1 (with hybrid working)

**About Us**

Local Trust was established in 2012 to deliver Big Local, a National Lottery Community Fund programme which committed £1million each to 150 areas across England. We believe there is a need to put more power, resources, and decision making into the hands of communities. We do this by trusting local people.

The Big Local programme demonstrates the value of long-term, unconditional, resident-led funding through supporting local communities to make their areas better places to live. We commit our funds at the outset, and then support local residents to develop their own plans to spend the funding in ways that they collectively agree will improve their local area and the lives of those living there. We draw on the learning from our work to promote a wider transformation in the way policy-makers, funders and others engage with communities and places.

We are now looking for a Senior Policy and Parliamentary Officer to join us on a full-time basis for a two year fixed term contract.

**The Benefits**
- Salary of £42,000 per annum
- 25 days’ annual leave, plus public holidays and a three-day office closure between Christmas and New Year
- Pension scheme
- Interest-free season ticket loans
- Cycle-to-work scheme
- Excellent development opportunities
- Two days off per annum for volunteering

If you’re an influential individual with experience in policy and parliamentary affairs, this is the perfect opportunity to get onboard and help us transform communities

Your support will be vital in ensuring the Big Local programme makes maximum impact, enabling us to create more transformative change and continue to make the world a better place, one community at a time.

So, if you’re ready to make your next career move, we would love to hear from you

**The Role**

As our Senior Policy and Parliamentary Officer, you will ensure that our work has maximum impact by leading our parliamentary advocacy work and developing our policy programme.

Working alongside stakeholders and partners, you will research and write policy papers, submissions, articles and blogs, as well as editing long-form policy reports.

You will also support the development of policy research projects, including commissioning and managing external contracts, and representing us at events.

Additionally, you will:

- Lead our political advocacy work
- Develop our influencing strategy
- Build and manage relationships with MPs, Peers, Ministers and stakeholders
- Work with MPs and their offices to table debates and motions
- Scope and recruit members for a new All-Party Parliamentary Group

**About You**

To be considered as a Senior Policy and Parliamentary Officer, you will need:

- Experience directly relevant to the role
- Experience of devising and delivering influencing strategies focused at gaining cross-party support
- Good knowledge of parliamentary processes, gained through working in parliament and/or through involvement in charity or voluntary sector campaigns
- Experience of supporting activities in parliament such as debates or oral questions
- Experience of writing policy submissions, briefings and reports and supporting research activities
- Experience of influencing parliamentarians and other key stakeholders and securing their support

Other organisations may call this role Senior Research Officer, Senior Communications Officer, Senior Public Affairs Officer, Senior Parliamentary Affairs Officer, Senior Lobbying Officer, Senior Policy Researcher, or Senior Policy Officer.
