We are currently looking for a Policy Adviser to help drive forward our strategic policy advocacy at a critical time for the climate movement in the UK and globally. Uplift is an impact-oriented research and campaigning organisation that supports a rapid and fair transition away from oil and gas in the UK, with a goal of making the UK a global first-mover on phasing out oil and gas production in line with climate limits and a just settlement for the workforce.
The role
As Policy Adviser, you will collaborate with Uplift’s team and key partners to ensure that our collective work is underpinned by robust and forward-thinking policy analysis.

The successful candidate will have exceptional policy research skills, an ability to think politically, and a keen interest in climate and energy-related policy and campaigns. A strong commitment to Uplift's mission and core values is also required.
Core responsibilities include:
- Support the delivery of Uplift’s policy analysis, research and advocacy, contributing to our organisational strategy and campaigns.
- Monitor and track ongoing UK climate and energy policy developments to identify key opportunities and risks.

Our ideal candidate will have:
- Experience in a similar or related role (policy, research, advocacy or campaigns). Strong knowledge of UK climate, energy or environmental policy (direct expertise in just transition, fossil fuels or renewables would be an advantage, but is not essential).
- Excellent research and analytical skills, with the ability to synthesise complex information quickly and accurately.
- Exceptional writing and communication skills, with strong attention to detail.
- Motivation, initiative, and the ability to work both independently and collaboratively in a fast-moving environment.
- A strong commitment to Uplift’s mission and core values of equity and climate justice.

What you’ll be doing:
- Helping people maximise their income through benefits checks and advice
- Supporting people to complete benefit applications and, where necessary, challenge decisions
- Giving relevant information and signposting on other areas which impact on welfare benefits, such as social care, housing options, and local services
What we’re looking for:
- Someone with experience in welfare benefits or advice services (training provided to build on what you know)
- Great attention to detail, organisation and communication skills
- Ability to work both independently and as part of a team
- Flexibility to meet the changing needs of the service
