The Fawcett Society is looking for a driven and politically astute Senior Policy and Public Affairs Officer to join our Policy and Campaigns team and help push for transformative policy change.

About The Fawcett Society

The Fawcett Society is the UK’s leading membership charity campaigning for gender equality and women’s rights. We strive to create a society where women and girls in all their diversity can thrive and fulfil their potential. Through cutting-edge research, impactful campaigns, and the strength of our members, we drive the national conversation on gender equality.

The Role

As Senior Policy and Public Affairs Officer, you will develop and deliver Fawcett’s engagement with Parliament, government, and other key stakeholders.

• Organising stakeholder events, such as the Women’s Caucus, to engage political leaders, employers, and civil society.
• Empowering Fawcett members and supporters to engage in political advocacy, from writing to MPs to attending protests.

Who We’re Looking For

You have at least two years of experience in a policy or public affairs role, with a deep understanding of the UK political landscape and a commitment to gender equality. You are a creative problem-solver with the ability to quickly digest complex information, make persuasive arguments, and build relationships with diverse stakeholders. You thrive in a collaborative, fast-paced environment and have a proven ability to lead projects and campaigns.

We welcome applications from:

• Candidates who seek flexible working options, including job-share or compressed hours.
• Those based outside of London who are willing to travel into Westminster for key meetings.

We particularly encourage applications from disabled candidates, older candidates, and Black and racially minoritised candidates, who are currently underrepresented in our organisation.

Location: Remote working is welcome, with regular meetings in Westminster.
Contract: Permanent, subject to a three-month probation period.

If you’re ready to influence policy and advocate for gender equality, we’d love to hear from you!
