We are looking for a new Senior Policy Adviser to join our team at CARE. For 40 years and more, CARE’s Policy Team has worked with parliamentarians to inspire legislation that is good and godly, valuing human life and dignity as infinitely precious. Most recently, though our work on the Online Safety Act, we have helped to protect children and young people from online harm and through the current Crime & Policing Bill, to protect women and girls from the destructive impact of porn.
Our vision is to see politics renewed and lives transformed and we do this by telling God’s better story to a broken world. There are three core activities at CARE:
- Equipping politicians through a relational approach where we provide well researched briefings and advice.
- Engaging the church by producing relevant resources on a wide range of topics to serve church leaders and congregations.
- Empowering future leaders through our highly regarded Leadership Programme.
About the Role
The role majors on enhancing CARE’s policy work and reputation in the public square. This will be achieved through proactive engagement with the UK’s Parliaments, equipping and informing CARE’s supporters, the church and wider public.

The Team You Will Join

This is an exciting time to join CARE as we strategise around new policy interests and opportunities, and a new colleague will be key to that. You will be a highly valued team member, get to share and develop your skills and build new relationships.
What You Will Bring
We seek a new colleague with experience, so this will probably be your second or third role in this field.
We have long established causes and concerns, but we are also looking at the policy horizon, so you’ll be innovative and creative too.
Above all, you will be passionate about the relevance of God’s word for the politics and culture of today.
