Policy and Public Affairs Manager (England)

In light of both the Assisted Dying vote and the many funding challenges facing the hospice sector, Hospice UK is looking to immediately strengthen our policy team and capacity. 

We are looking for an exceptional individual, able to both support our members and help inform our public positions at a time of unprecedented interest in hospice care and palliative care more widely. You will ensure that the knowledge, experience and concerns of those working in hospices are available to MPs and decision makers. 

We are advertising this position on a “rolling basis” and will look to interview suitably qualified candidates as they apply. The post will be advertised until it is filled.

Location: Hybrid Work Culture. We are proud to promote a truly hybrid work culture, recognising that every role is different, and everyone has unique needs and preferences. Our Hybrid Work Arrangement empowers each team member to work with their manager to choose the most effective way to work that balances your needs and Hospice UK’s. Our office is a short walk from King’s Cross station in London.

Whilst we work flexibly, because we work with decision makers in Westminster, there will be an expectation that you can travel to central London at short notice if required. You will also be expected to come into the office at least one day a week.

You can work remotely for the rest of the time. Equally, you may prefer to work from the office full-time. We encourage all colleagues to visit member hospices to help inform our work and you may be able to work from there.

Contractually this role is London-based.

Contract: Permanent, full time (35 hours per week).

Salary: £45,000 per annum
