You will gather, analyse, and share information about external policy developments and their implications for people with arthritis, developing policy positions, producing evidence-based briefings and reports and contributing to consultation responses.
As well as working closely with nation influencing colleagues and teams across the Services & Devolved Nations Directorate, you will work closely with the UK Advocacy & Health Intelligence team, Research Directorate and strategic communications teams, including representing us on cross-sector policy groups and participating in events and conferences.

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:
You will have ready-made resourcefulness, be a creative thinker, with strong analytical, written and verbal communications skills. An enthusiastic, adaptive and flexible approach is important, together with an ability to work with autonomy and across teams as well as:

- Understanding of current healthcare policy issues relevant to people with long-term conditions or disability.
- Experience of drafting policy papers and briefings, and the ability to understand and articulate academic research and policy papers.
- We value the importance of the Welsh language in our work and the ability to speak Welsh or the commitment to learn Welsh is encouraged.
*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.

ABOUT TRAIN
TRAIN is a youth work charity based in South Oxfordshire. We support young people aged 10 to 18 in Didcot, Wallingford and the surrounding areas, especially those who are under-served.
Young people in our communities are facing complex challenges. Mental health struggles, pressures at school, family instability and the impact of poverty can leave them feeling isolated or overlooked. Too often, they don’t have access to the right support at the right time. TRAIN exists to change that. We offer trusted relationships with adults outside positions of authority, safe spaces where young people can be themselves, and opportunities to grow in confidence, make positive choices and feel part of their community.
ABOUT THE ROLE
This is a key support role in a small, values-driven charity. While most people know TRAIN for its youth work, the smooth running of our organisation depends on good systems, clear admin and reliable behind-the-scenes support. That’s what this role is about.
As Charity Support Officer, you’ll take care of the day-to-day admin that keeps us organised, while also supporting projects and events that help TRAIN grow. Some responsibilities are regular — such as finance processing, HR and volunteer onboarding, responding to enquiries and keeping records accurate. Others will vary week to week, from preparing a funder report to liaising with contractors on a website update or helping coordinate the Didcot Youth Festival.
We’re looking for someone who is organised, adaptable and comfortable juggling different tasks. You won’t be expected to lead major projects or make big decisions, but you will be the first port of call for the small, steady tasks that make a big difference. If you enjoy variety, value attention to detail, and want to play a part in supporting life-changing youth work, this role could be a good fit.
This is a part-time role of 15 hours per week, which can be worked flexibly. The role is based in Didcot or Wallingford with hybrid working. We expect at least some office time each week, but for exceptional candidates, we will consider a fully remote arrangement.
SALARY AND BENEFITS
- Salary: £26,403–£28,142 FTE, pro-rated, depending on experience
- Contract: Permanent, part-time (15 hours per week)
- Annual leave: 25 days plus bank holidays (pro rata)
- Pension: 3% employer contribution
- Flexible working: We’re happy to consider various flexible working arrangements, including hybrid working, fully remote, term-time only and job shares. We can also be flexible about the exact number of hours and how they are worked during the week.
- Professional development: Tailored learning and training opportunities
- Wellbeing: Access to an employee assistance programme with mental health and wellbeing support
- Culture: Supportive, collaborative team with regular catch-ups and shared learning
JOB DESCRIPTION
Core (day-to-day focus)
- Communications and enquiries – be the first point of contact for general enquiries via email and social media, ensuring timely and professional responses.
- Project coordination and events – Coordinate various ad hoc projects (e.g. website refresh, new systems) and provide support for events such as the Didcot Youth Festival.
- HR and volunteer support – coordinate onboarding for staff and volunteers, including references, DBS checks and inductions.
- Office and building liaison – help keep the Didcot youth centre running smoothly by liaising with the landlord/service manager and handling facilities needs.
- Team support – provide admin support across the CEO, staff and trustees, including scheduling, minute-taking and document preparation.
Important (regular, but secondary to the above)
- Finance administration – support the CEO and our bookkeeper with tasks such as processing invoices, expenses, payments and payroll information.
- Data and monitoring – keep records up to date (attendance, impact data, safeguarding logs) for accurate reporting.
- Comms basics – work with the Fundraising and Communications Coordinator to update the website, draft newsletters and prepare supporter updates.
- Database and records – maintain supporter, volunteer and young people’s contact details.
- Policies and procedures – keep master copies organised and flag review dates.
- Health & safety admin – support with risk assessments, building checks and first aid supplies.
Occasional (as needed)
- Fundraising support – assist with funder reports, donor thank-yous and admin for community events.
- Safeguarding admin – support the Designated Safeguarding Lead with record-keeping and DBS renewals (admin only).
- Governance support – assist with trustee papers, annual returns and filings.
- Supplies and logistics – order office supplies, consumables and manage petty cash/card reconciliation.
- IT and systems – liaise with IT suppliers on logins, backups or new staff accounts.
- Insurance/licensing renewals – track renewal dates and ensure processes are followed.
