Over the past four years the Southern Policy Centre (SPC) has established a strong reputation for leading public debate and setting the agenda across a wide range of regional issues. We are now seeking a capable General Manager who can co-ordinate our activities and ensure our internal and external commitments are met.
Our research and conferences have covered regional economic strategy and devolution, graduate retention, the impact of housing pressures on business, the experience of poverty in southern towns and villages, the challenges facing our 16-24 year olds, and the use of open data to shape public policy.
We utilise a wide range of research techniques including data analysis, young peer researchers, deliberative polling and online and face to face surveys. Our partners have included the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, the Blagrave Trust, Hampshire County Council, Business South, Centre for London, Arup, Blake Morgan, Arts Council South West and the universities of Southampton, Solent, Winchester and Portsmouth, as well as Solent, Dorset and Enterprise M3 LEPs.
This is a broad and varied role in which you will organise the Centre’s conferences and seminars, co-ordinate significant meetings, prepare press releases and presentations, and support budget management.
The post requires the ability to understand fully the aims and objectives of our projects and contribute significantly and on your own initiative to their fulfilment. You will also prepare reports and help us further develop our website and social media presence.
You may have worked for senior figures in Government or industry, or perhaps your background is in academia, public policy or lobbying and you have ambitions in that field.
