Why work for us?

At CARE International UK we are passionate about fighting poverty and injustice, particularly focusing on the role and importance of working with women and girls. The UK has a long history as a committed leader on gender equality and a champion for women’s and girls’ rights, but over the last two years, policy decisions by the UK government risk undermining significant achievements and the UK’s leadership on development, humanitarian response and gender equality. Can you help us ensure our priorities are heard and supported in government and parliament?

As a development and humanitarian agency with programmes and partnerships in over 100 countries worldwide CARE brings its experience of working in crises like Ukraine, Yemen, South Sudan, DRC, Afghanistan to policy-makers to inform decisions. Can you help us ensure the evidence and insight from CARE programmes and partners on the ground informs UK government international development strategies and emergency response? For example evidence shows that COVID-19 has had a significant impact on gender equality and women’s rights, and when intersecting with other crises, like climate change and conflict, risks rolling back hard-earned gains by a generation. Our campaigning and influencing work focuses on the importance of effective investments in women and girls and addressing gender inequality to ensure it remains a priority for the UK government.

Some of the areas that this role will focus on in the coming year include:

• the UK governments new International Development Strategy and how it will deliver on the UK’s commitment to spend 0.7% of Gross National Income (GNI) on overseas aid and focus on helping the world’s poorest people and how it will use UK aid and global leadership to make progress on the biggest challenges facing the world, such as gender inequality, climate change and humanitarian crisis.
• The UK government’s FCDO-wide Women and Girls Strategy, how it addresses the economic and structural barriers to gender inequality and how it includes an intersectional approach that includes an understanding of the needs faced by women and girls facing intersecting inequalities.
• The government’s focus on preventing sexual violence in conflict, the proposal for a summit and a convention that supports progress on the issue and how this is integrated with wider strategies on prevention of violence against women and girls more broadly.
• Informing and influencing accountability at key parliamentary and government moments like autumn and other budget announcements, G7 meetings, PSVI Conference, Party conferences, donor conferences.
• And coordinating with the sector to participate in or lead at public campaigning moments, including #March4Women; #Wednesday4Women; Wave of Hope; Great Big Green Week; 16 Days of Activism on GBV.

We are seeking a Government & Parliamentary Officer that can work with the team and our INGO colleagues to engagement government and parliament as part of a joint strategy to carry out this important work. This is a critical role that offers someone with knowledge and get up and go the chance to really shape policy debates and ultimately impact the lives of many thousands of people. If this sounds really exciting to you then we can’t wait to hear from you!

About you

The Government and Parliamentary Officer will have a strong understanding of UK Parliament and current parliamentarians and experience of the best strategies to influence and engage key stakeholders. You will understand political parties and how they play out in Westminster. You will understand the best ways to communicate the work of a humanitarian and development organisation with a focus on women and girls and how to work in collaboration across the sector to influence global summits and legislative processes.

Ideally you will have experience working in cross-organisational campaigns to deliver a shared influencing goal.
