The Advertising Standards Authority (ASA) is the UK’s independent regulator of advertising. Our purpose is to make advertisements responsible and our ambition is to make every UK ad a responsible ad. In late 2023, we finalised our new five-year strategy, which set out our strategic decisions in areas including operational transformation, the Planet, and collective ad regulation. We also committed to putting people, especially the vulnerable, first, and to making sure we have the best people working with us.

We think the ASA is a great place to work However, don’t just take our word for it. In our last employee survey in which 97% of our employees took part, a whopping 90% of our staff said they ‘believe their work is important and valued by the ASA’, and 82% said they were ‘proud to tell people’ that they work for the ASA. But we’re not complacent. We know we can always do better and that high levels of employee wellbeing, belonging and engagement have never been more important to our staff and therefore our business.

Which is why we are now looking for a capable and experienced individual to join us as our People Team Assistant.

INDMED

We are the UK’s independent frontline regulator of ads by legitimate businesses and other organisations in all media, including online. We are authoritative and influential on ad regulation; the centre of expertise. The rules we administer and enforce are contained in the UK Advertising Codes, written by the industry Committees of Advertising Practice (CAP). To help maintain our independence from the industry that funds us, we are primarily funded at arm’s length by the Advertising Standards Boards of Finance (Asbof). Together, the ASA, CAP and Asbof make up the ASA system.

Our purpose is to make sure ads are responsible. Our ambition is to make sure every UK ad is a responsible ad. Our values are to be proactive, collaborative, accountable, transparent and decisive. We want external stakeholders to find us to be: independent in administering the Codes; evidence-based, proportionate, targeted and consistent; and reflective of society, not a social engineer.

We are passionate about what we do because responsible ads are good for people, good for society and good for business. They entertain and inform us, helping us to choose products and services. They fund the media, sport and culture we all enjoy. They can be a force for social good, encouraging us to contribute to good causes, make more responsible choices and stay safe. And they help deliver competition and power the economy. By making sure ads are responsible, we protect people from being misled, harmed or offended, helping them feel more confident in the ads they see and hear.
