Background
Every three minutes someone in the UK develops dementia; a progressive and complex condition that can be devastating for the whole family. One in two of us will be affected by dementia in our lifetime – either by caring for someone with the condition, developing it ourselves, or both.
Dementia UK is the specialist dementia nursing charity that is there for the whole family. Our specialist nurses, known as Admiral Nurses, provide free, expert advice, support and understanding to help families care for their loved one. Every day, Admiral Nurses help families up and down the country to have the best life possible for as long as possible.
Purpose of the job/About the role
This is an exciting opportunity to join Dementia UK as a Public Affairs Officer where you will play a crucial role within the Policy, Campaigns, and Public Affairs team to drive our long-term policy and influencing strategy.
Working closely with the Policy and Public Affairs Manager, you will be pivotal in leading impactful initiatives across Westminster, the devolved nations, and local government. Your primary objective will be to raise the profile of Dementia UK, Admiral Nurses, and individuals living with dementia and their families among parliamentary and elected decision-makers. By working to improve legislation, public policy, and statutory services, you will directly influence and enhance the lives of those affected by dementia.
In this role, you will support the development and dissemination of briefings and materials for parliamentary debates and other related activities. You will also stay informed about the political landscape, providing regular updates to colleagues through a weekly political monitoring report and briefing documents as needed.
To succeed in this role you will have previous experience in a parliamentary, policy, or related environment, with a solid understanding of national, devolved, local, and parliamentary processes. You will possess excellent written and verbal communication skills and the ability to identify and capitalise opportunities to build and maintain strong relationships. You will have previously organised and delivered impactful events and ideally have some project management skills with an ability to prioritise workloads effectively and meet deadlines.
If this sounds like you, join us now and be part of a team dedicated to making a real difference in the lives of those affected by dementia.
Our Culture
In addition to a competitive salary and a generous benefits package, we truly value our people. It’s important for us to create a working environment that looks after our workforce to achieve their full potential. You will become part of a diverse and dedicated team who are supported to use and develop their skills. We recognise and value the key role you will play in delivering our strategic plans for the benefit of those living with dementia.
Our staff have a voice. Representatives from different roles and levels across the organisation positively contribute and lead on our working groups around health and wellbeing, menopause, and equality, diversity and inclusion.
Dementia UK is proud to welcome everyone, we aim for a truly inclusive culture with talented, diverse teams that represent a variety of backgrounds, perspectives, and skills. We celebrate differences and individuality and encourage everyone to join us and be their whole selves always.
