About CoppaFeel!

CoppaFeel! are the UK’s only youth focused breast cancer awareness charity, and we’re on a mission to get every 18-24 year old checking their chest. We educate people on the signs of breast cancer and encourage them to check their chests monthly, so that if they notice something unusual they are empowered to contact their GP and advocate for themselves.

We do this because when diagnosed early, breast cancer treatments are more effective and survival rates are higher. Early detection can save lives.

Breast cancer does not need to be detected late, and as long as we are here and continue to be supported by people like you, we will do all we can to make sure this doesn’t continue to happen.

The Role

CoppaFeel! is looking for a Senior Policy and Public Affairs Manager to lead the organisation’s influencing activity, including the development and delivery of an overarching influencing strategy. This is an exciting time to join the team as we refresh and relaunch our policy and public affairs focus. This new role will shape our approach and have autonomy to lead this function for the organisation.

The Senior Policy and Public Affairs Manager will play a pivotal role in positioning CoppaFeel! as a key voice in influencing policies to improve breast cancer education, awareness, diagnosis, and treatment for young people. We are looking for a self-starter who is able to analyse our current position and set our future direction. We are looking for a proactive networker, who is confident in navigating the world of public affairs and the charity sector.

The post holder will ensure that CoppaFeel!'s policy and public affairs activities are data- and insight-driven, centring the voices and experiences of young people, those who have had a breast cancer diagnosis, and healthcare professionals. A key focus of this work will be to highlight the health inequities and unique challenges faced by young people—particularly those from underserved groups—and ensure these are reflected in policy development.

The Senior Policy and Public Affairs Manager will be based within the Education team but will lead and collaborate across the organisation to achieve our influencing objectives.

This is a hybrid role, with the expectation that you will attend the London office 2 days per week. You will be required to attend the office for quarterly team meetings, department meetings and in person training, we will provide plenty of notice for when you are required to be in for these purposes.

This role is full-time, but part-time will be considered if requested.

Duties & Responsibilities

Policy

• Produce high quality, evidence- based policy outputs, including briefings, responses to consultations and policy publications
• Liaise with key influencers, including civil servants, policymakers, other charities and healthcare professionals, in order to influence policy
• Ensure key internal and external stakeholders are updated on policy developments and provide support for senior staff as required
• Support policy input into media responses and act as a media spokesperson on policy related issues

Public Affairs

• Develop and deliver impactful public affairs elements of CoppaFeel’s influencing strategy working with the Head of Policy and Engagement
• Research and identify opportunities to engage Parliamentarians in health and education related issues and develop and maintain relationships with key politicians
• Organise and lead CoppaFeel!’s public affairs events, including parliamentary receptions and roundtables and party conference activities
• Lead on the monitoring of legislation and parliamentary activity relevant to CoppaFeel!
• Suggest PQs and prepare briefings for Parliamentarians
• Represent CoppaFeel! at parliamentary events and relevant public affairs working groups

Campaigns

• Lead on the development of campaigning activities that relate to the influencing strategy and resulting policy and public affairs work
• Utilise campaign tools to deliver influencing objectives
• Work closely with relevant departments and key stakeholders, such as young people and/or the breast cancer community to deliver co-created campaigns that meet goals successfully
• Future Line Management: as the organisation evolves, opportunity to add resource and take on line management responsibilities, overseeing team members and fostering their professional growth

These duties provide a framework for the role and should not be regarded as a definitive list. Other reasonable duties may be required consistent with the grade of the role.

• A minimum of six years’ experience in a policy or public affairs related environment, delivering impact and notable change
• At least two years experience working in health policy
