We are currently looking for a Legal and Policy Adviser to join our growing team to drive forward our strategic legal and policy advocacy. This is an exciting opportunity to help build an ambitious movement to phase out oil and gas extraction in the UK.

About Uplift

Uplift supports efforts to create a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas production in the UK. We strategically support, connect and elevate ideas and voices to set in motion a just transition away from fossil fuel production commensurate with the scale of the climate crisis.

The role

As Legal and Policy Adviser, you will collaborate with Uplift’s team and key partners to ensure that our collective work is underpinned by robust and forward-thinking legal and policy analysis. From supporting strategic litigation and legal advocacy to ensuring our politics team have a sound understanding of relevant policy frameworks, this is a diverse role at the heart of our work pushing a just transition away from oil and gas extraction. 

Uplift has taken and supported high-profile climate litigation and used legal insight to generate front-page headlines linked to our campaigns. Most recently, we have won the legal case against the Rosebank oil field in the North Sea. We have also generated legal analysis to support a wider network to participate in vital public consultation processes. 

The successful candidate will have exceptional legal and policy research skills, an ability to think strategically about law and policy opportunities, and a keen interest in climate and energy-related policy and campaigns. A strong commitment to Uplift's mission and core values is also required.

Responsibilities

Core responsibilities include:

• Support the delivery of Uplift’s responses to ongoing policy processes, litigation, law reform advocacy, and legal analysis, advancing Uplift’s objectives.

• Analyse, interpret and synthesise legal and policy developments to support the Politics team in advising our network.

• Provide fact-checking and ad-hoc policy and legislative analysis for the Uplift team to ensure accuracy in Uplift’s public communications.

• Contribute to the wider work of the Research, Policy and Legal team, including building and maintaining relationships with key external partners.

About you

Our ideal candidate will have: 

• Experience in a similar or related role.

• Policy or legal knowledge focussed on environmental or social justice. A formal legal qualification or policy and legislative experience would be beneficial. Direct experience on the energy transition, fossil fuels, renewables or a just transition would also be beneficial, but Uplift will support the right candidate in developing this expertise.

• A demonstrable ability to provide compelling and novel analysis, including defining and executing strategic research projects.

• Exceptional writing and synthesis skills, and a very strong attention to detail.

• Motivation, initiative, exceptionally high standards, a collaborative approach, and associated qualities needed to work in a dynamic organisation with an ambitious agenda.

• A strong commitment to Uplift’s mission and core values of equity and climate justice. 

Equality, diversity and inclusion are at the core of Uplift’s values and therefore we strongly encourage applications from candidates whose backgrounds or accessibility/support needs mean they have been traditionally under-represented in the climate and environment sector.

Interviews: 27th February in London

Every year in the UK thousands of unpaid carers look after someone with dementia but receive little or no support. At Dementia Carers Count, we stand for them. We campaign for change and provide practical, emotional and financial support to dementia carers across the UK.

Our Carers Support Service delivers free advocacy, casework, and counselling, so no carer feels invisible, isolated or alone. Carers describe the service as life changing.

The Advice and Advocacy Specialist will be responsible for assessing and supporting dementia carers when they first contact the service. This role will also deliver casework to secure rights and services. We are looking for someone who understands carers rights and has experience of delivering successful casework. We need someone who is adaptable and open-minded, but also able to focus on quality assurance and carer outcomes.

We are a small and remote multi-disciplinary team, committed to making a difference for carers and supporting each other. The role can be based anywhere in the UK, with attendance at monthly in-person meetings in London.

If you like the sound of the role, and believe you have the skills and experience to join us, then we would love to hear from you.
