The Royal Society’s mission is to recognise, promote and support excellence in science, and to encourage the development and use of science for the benefit of humanity. Science is vital to many areas of government policy making and the Society seeks to ensure the government and the public have access to impartial and independent expert advice to inform debate and guide good decision making. The Royal Society provides independent, timely and authoritative scientific advice to UK, European and international decision makers. We champion the contribution that science and innovation can make to economic prosperity, quality of life and environmental sustainability; and we are a hub for debate about science, society and public policy. We are committed to ensuring everyone has the opportunity to appreciate the value of and engage with science through top quality education.

The Education and Skills Policy Team aims to achieve this through a programme of activity intended to address the following three priorities:

1. To ensure that UK education maintains and grows the nation's status as a world-leading scientific nation.
2. To ensure that the UK has a more equitable education system that advances academic achievement and technical expertise alongside developing the individual resilience and adaptability, to provide an educational foundation for all future citizens.
3. To develop an education system that embeds within the experience of learners, the skills and knowledge that enable them to engage confidently and critically with science and how it affects people's lives.

The Society’s policy work is led by the science policy team, working closely with the Media Relations, Public Affairs, Public Engagement, International Affairs and Diversity & Industry Programme teams. Activities are undertaken by a team of Senior Policy Advisers and Policy Advisers who work across a range of themes and policy issues, according to priorities and their own expertise.

The Society’s partners include other academies, learned societies, funding agencies, government, industry, charitable bodies, business and the public sector.

With knowledge and a real enthusiasm for policy in the domains of education, skills or science, you will be responsible for leading and delivering programmes of work around education reform related to STEM. Working with a small and talented team of direct reports, you will be expected to develop research projects, produce external briefings, conceive and deliver round table events, workshops and other meetings as well as provide advice for senior management, Fellows and Council. You will enjoy exceptional visibility and variety.

We are a disability rights organisation with 35 years of experience. We fight for independence, equality and opportunity for disabled people living in poverty in Africa and Asia. 

We believe it is not the impairment, but the barriers in society, that limit people from reaching their full potential. 

We work in areas of extreme poverty alongside disabled people’s organisations run by disability activists at a local and national level, supporting them with the tools and resources to build powerful movements for change.

ADD International is an ally to the global disability movement and we partner with disabled people’s organisations and disability activists in Africa and Asia to help them access the tools, resources and support they need to build powerful movements for change.

Thirtyone:eight, the UK’s leading Independent Christian Safeguarding charity is looking for an organised and media-savvy Communications Manager to coordinate and develop their communications across multiple channels and platforms including print and digital. 

As part of an ongoing programme of investment in our infrastructure, and as we look to streamline and enhance our content creation and production, we need someone with strong management skills and experience of working within or alongside Christian faith communities and charities to help shape and develop our communications going forwards.

About you

We are looking for someone with experience across the communications mix, including end-to-end events management, media relations and content creation across different channels. Our work focuses on research and policy in education, justice and welfare, and while you don’t need to be an expert in those areas, you should have an enthusiasm to develop knowledge of them and the ability to quickly get to grips with the landscape in which the Foundation operates, our strategy and our target audiences.

You will enjoy working in a team environment and have excellent written and verbal communication skills. You will be confident working with a range of stakeholders, including subject specialists and academics. We are seeking someone who can think creatively about communicating complex and technical research and can work independently on a range of projects. You will be highly organised, with good project management skills and the ability to work on multiple projects at once.

We for looking for someone with excellent writing and editing skills.
