You have political astuteness and a keen interest in Government policymaking and stakeholder advising and influencing and the power of people to make a difference through taking action and funding charities to do more. Experience of campaigning or active support for a campaigning charity at any level would be advantageous.

You have a track record of producing clean, well-structured, succinct, evidence-based written content, tailored to different audiences and channels. Every word you write carries additional meaning and is concise, compelling and impactful, helping people understand, care and take action.

- People skills. You are a great relationship builder at all levels; you will be managing media relationships with national, regional and sector journalists as well as partner stakeholder relationships, including road victims and leaders of national organisations.
- System skills. You have a willingness to learn and carefully use IT systems that help us log and share our contacts and analyse our communications impact, as well as proficiency in all standard Office IT systems including Word, Excel and PowerPoint.
- An organised and team-centred approach, combined with flexibility. You have an ability to plan, work in teams and across teams and flexibly, responding to emerging events and acting on initiative as required. You pragmatically balance multiple priorities to deadlines.
- It will be advantageous to live within two hours of central London.
