Public Affairs Officer

We’re looking for someone with an interest in and understanding of the UK’s political environment, with good insight into the workings of the UK Government and Westminster parliamentary procedure. You’ll have an understanding of the role of BHF and other medical research charities in general, or a broader awareness of the UK’s research environment.

You’ll have some experience of working in the UK Parliament or within a public affairs in-house team or consultancy, and have excellent communication skills.Previous engagement with political stakeholders will be helpful, but we also welcome those who are keen to build these relationships.

We’re looking for someone who can understand and distil sometimes complex information, simply and clearly in a range of formats – letters, briefings, social media posts – for a range of audiences. Strong organisational skills are also important, and any experience helping to organise or support events would be useful.

This is an opportunity to make a profound impact for our patients, their families, and our supporters.
