London, UK, United Kingdom Versus Arthritis Full time

This role requires regular travel across the UK (including Scotland, Northern Ireland and Wales)

Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us achieve a future free from arthritis.

At Versus Arthritis, we won’t rest until everyone with arthritis has access to the treatment and care they need to live the life they choose with real hope of a cure in the future.

To turbo charge our progress towards achieving our goals we’ve created a new UK Advocacy (policy, public affairs and campaigns) and Health Intelligence department, within the Chief Executive Office who will pro-actively drive positive change with and for people living with arthritis.

About the role

We are now looking for an Assistant Director, who will work closely with and report to our Chief Executive Officer, to lead this new department. You will lead a growing department of 18 people and have matrix management of our nations policy and public affairs teams. Together you will deliver UK wide Advocacy and Health Intelligence strategies and ensure we make a step change in our influence.

About you

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

  • a highly experienced advocate with exceptional policy and influencing skills.
  • a strong understanding of how to use data and health intelligence to drive system change in health or a closely related area.
  • a track record of working at senior level in a role which requires an organisation-wide, cross-functional strategic perspective on issues, challenges and opportunities.
  • excellent communication, networking and influencing skills, with the ability to build purposeful relationships at a very senior level.

People living with arthritis and musculoskeletal conditions have been overlooked for far too long, if you think you can help us change that, we’d love to hear from you.

*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.

You must be based, and hold the right to work, in the UK to apply for this position.

Shortlisting:

  • We advise candidates to apply early as we reserve the right to close applications ahead of this date.  
  • Only shortlisted candidates will be contacted. 

We do not wish to receive contact from agencies or media sales. 

Interview

Interview date to be confirmed. Interviews to be held at Versus Arthritis London Office.

As a Disability Confident Employer, we guarantee you will be offered an interview if you disclose a disability and demonstrate sufficient evidence within your application that you meet the essential criteria for this role. We will also make any reasonable adjustments you may require for your interview.
