Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us achieve a future free from arthritis.
Within the Chief Executive’s Office, the UK Advocacy and Health Intelligence Department are focused on creating lasting change. We identify creative policy solutions in response to the challenges people with arthritis face. We influence decision-makers across the UK by developing evidence and through stakeholder engagement, public affairs activity and by campaigning alongside people with arthritis. We have expertise across health and care services, public health, and employment policy. We also work in collaboration to influence medical research and data policy and play an active role in several cross-sector groups. We’re looking for a Policy Manager who will make a difference to health and social care policy for people with arthritis.
About the role
The purpose of this role is to lead on projects across our policy priority areas, commissioning research, developing policy positions, and producing reports and consultation responses. There will also be opportunity for line-management within the team.
This role will cover a broad range of issues across one of our strategic goals – prevention and diagnosis; access to treatment; and living well with arthritis. Our approach considers the needs of people of all ages who have arthritis.
The Policy Manager will also contribute to the wider work of the team, working closely with colleagues in the Nations Teams, the Research Directorate and the wider charity, including by representing us on cross-sector policy groups, drafting briefings, and participating in events and conferences.
We’ll give you autonomy, variety and challenge with opportunities to lead projects and to work with inspirational campaigners and meet senior Government and NHS stakeholders. We’re a supportive team who will value your well-being and professional development.
About you
If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we’d love to hear from you:
- Understanding of current policy issues relevant to people with long-term conditions or disability, including healthcare policy.
- Recent experience of influencing policy gained from work within a policy team.
- An ability to think creatively and communicate effectively.
- An enthusiastic, adaptive and flexible approach.
*As a hybrid worker the expectation is that you will spend around 40% of your working time in our office spaces or working in community settings. As an inclusive employer we will consider home-based working for anyone where office-based hybrid working would be a barrier to being able to work for us, for example for someone living with a long-term health condition or disability.

This is a great opportunity for someone who wants to use their experience to make a big difference to the lives of hundreds of people and to shape the future direction and strategy of the organisation.
