We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced policy and public affairs manager with a strong track record of creating policy solutions that drive real change.
In this role you will work closely with the Head of Campaigns and Communications to drive the organisation's influencing work across all 4 nations of the UK through policy development, public affairs activity, and developing and delivering issue-based campaigns that aim to make a real difference.
Endometriosis impacts the physical and mental health of 10% of women and those assigned female at birth, from puberty to menopause - although the impact can be felt for life.
Yet it's a disease most people have never heard of, do not understand, and that currently has no cure.
Diagnosis time in the UK currently takes on average 8 years and 10 months, and UK non-cancer gynaecology waiting lists have now grown to more than 750,000.
As the UK's leading charity for all those affected by endometriosis, we're determined to change this and ensure that everyone gets prompt diagnosis and the best treatment and support.
With a new UK Government and increased interest in menstrual health across all 4 nations, there has never been a more exciting time to join Endometriosis UK and help us make a difference to the lives of those affected by endometriosis in the UK.
Within this role, you will play a key role in the delivery of our new organisational strategy that will launch in 2025, focused on better supporting those with endometriosis, driving down diagnosis times, campaigning for improved treatments and access to services, raising awareness, and leveraging more money into research.
We place people with endometriosis at the heart of all we do.
If we get our work right, we really can make a difference to the 1.5 million with endometriosis in the UK – and all those diagnosed in the future.
