By harnessing innovative sensory and assistive technology, we empower children to play, learn, communicate, interact with the world, and create lasting memories with their families.

For nearly 25 years, we have provided cutting-edge technology, training, and ongoing technical support free of charge to children’s hospices in Britain and Ireland, impacting over 12,500 children and their families annually.

Despite advances in clinical care, many children we support are unlikely to recover and may live short, complicated lives. However, our mission is simple and crucial: to help these children live as well as possible, for as long as possible, even into their last days.

Our key aims are to improve health and wellbeing outcomes for the children and families we support by increasing independence, reducing isolation, and improving communication, emotional wellbeing, and family relationships.

CLOSING DATE: 9.00 am 8th July 24

INTERVIEWS: 18th July 24

Do you have experience of working in an in-house policy, public affairs and campaigns team for a campaigning charity or NGO, for a creative campaigns consultancy, or on a political party campaign? Are you looking to drive change to help tackle one of the UK’s biggest killers?

If so, you may be the Campaigns Officer we’re looking for!

About the role

Our Policy and Public Affairs team exists to develop evidence-based policies that we can use to help inform and influence Government and health service decisions relating to heart and circulatory diseases and research.

We have an exciting opportunity for a Campaigns Officer to join our award winning and high impact team during a very exciting time in politics. This is a new position, which will play a critical role in the development and delivery of activity aimed at getting the public involved in our flagship Hearts Need More Westminster influencing campaign. The role will also provide campaigns support for our work to influence the Devolved Administrations in Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland on key issues affecting heart patients in each of the four UK nations.

You’ll work closely with teams across the BHF to proactively spot opportunities to mobilise our supporters and cross-promote other BHF campaigns, including our Customer Journey and Marketing teams, and will be responsible for drafting copy in multiple formats for warm and cold audiences. You’ll also involve and engage people with lived experience in our campaigns work, working closely with our Heart Stories and Patient and Public Involvement teams.

Working arrangements

This is a blended role, where your work will be dual located between your home and one of four UK offices (Belfast, Cardiff, Edinburgh or London). There will be an expectation to travel to the London office (if this is not your preferred location) at least once a month, with some travel to each of the other nation offices throughout the year.

At BHF we believe in the power of being together, so our colleagues on blended contracts can expect to spend some time in their office, at least one day each week, on average. The use of our office spaces is driven in part by your role and the activities you need to do. This may vary from time to time, so you will need to work in a flexible way to unlock your best work for our cause. 

About you

With an interest in advocacy and political campaigning, you’ll have an understanding of the relationship between campaigning and public affairs, and the value of mobilising the public to secure policy change. You'll have experience of campaigning, either for a political party or within an in-house public affairs and campaigns team or campaigns consultancy, with experience of using a campaigning platform or CRM software.

You'll have a solid grasp of the workings of the UK and Devolved Governments and parliamentary procedures. You'll have an understanding of the role of BHF and other health and medical research charities in general, and particularly in the political arena.

With a proven ability to write clearly, concisely and persuasively, you’ll be able to draft campaign copy in a variety of formats, and especially for lay audiences. You'll also have strong organisational skills, including experience of project management. You will have experience of using social media and other comms channels for campaigning and will think creatively about how to engage our existing supporters and attract new ones. You’ll also be collaborative, with an ability to build strong relationships with key internal and external colleagues.

This is an opportunity to make a profound impact for our patients, their families, and our supporters at an exciting time in the electoral cycle.

About us

We value and respect every individual’s unique contribution, celebrate diversity, and make inclusion part of what we do every day. 

Our Equality, Diversity and Inclusion (EDI) Strategy, Igniting Change, along with our internal EDI group, Kaleidoscope, and a growing number of employee network groups (our Affinity Groups), help us create an environment where all our colleagues and volunteers can succeed.

Interview process

Interviews will be held virtually via MS Teams during week commencing 15th July 2024.
