The Physiological Society is growing its policy team and there is an opportunity to join as a Policy Officer. 

Working as a part of a small team and reporting to our Policy Manager, the Policy Officer will play an important role in shaping science policy in the UK and Republic of Ireland. 

Through an impactful and ambitious programme of proactive projects and responsive policy initiatives, our policy team seeks to work towards a position where physiology is a well-funded, high-profile discipline with physiologists able to operate in a supportive policy landscape. The policy landscape affecting physiology and physiologists include issues related to research funding and the research ecosystem.

The Policy Officer is responsible for identifying and acting on issues facing individuals working within physiology and the life sciences. 

We support physiologists to play a leading role in informing the public policy response of government to global health challenges. Our policy work seeks to showcase why physiology is the cornerstone of the scientific response to global public health challenges such as the ageing society and climate change. This requires working with other societies and like-minded organisations with complementary objectives. 

The role is fixed term for 2 years and based at our Head Office in Farringdon (we are currently following Government advice to work for home and anticipate a return to the office on the basis of approximately 2 days/week when allowed).

To this end we would welcome applications from individuals from underrepresented groups, including minoritised communities and applicants with a disability, to better reflect the community we support and help broaden our perspectives. 

Exciting opportunity to develop Anti-Slavery’s individual giving fundraising programme as we enter a new strategic period. You will join a growing and supportive team generating funds for the eradication of all forms of slavery throughout the world.

Reporting to the Individual Giving Manager, you will support programme growth and generate income from donors both new and existing. These donors will give to us through membership, regular donations, appeals, digital fundraising and through new products we are yet to establish. You will support the development, implementation and growth of a portfolio of products. By building upon existing relationships, and attracting and converting new supporters, you will grow our income in this area, helping to create a sustainable platform for all our fundraising activity at an organisation going through an exciting period of growth.

Please note a 4 day week with either compressed or reduced hours and hybrid working will be considered.

Dear candidate,

I’ll cut to the quick: we need you on our team.

This year we’ll launch an exciting new campaign called Stronger My Way, which will help people living with a health condition improve their quality of life through strengthening.

We’ll also continue to promote a major NHS initiative that allows patients to see a specialist physiotherapist instead of a GP at their local surgery when they have a bone, joint or muscle problem.

And the pandemic has only added to the sense of urgency around our campaign to improve access to incredibly important rehabilitation for conditions such as arthritis, MS and stroke.

You’ll use your experience of similar integrated campaigns to provide creativity, energy and sharply-targeted comms across multiple platforms.

You’ll bring your media contacts, nous and writing skills to generate coverage and secure profile for these issues in national, specialist and other forms of media.

We’ll also rely on your experience of working across other PR channels, such as social media, securing speaker opportunities and event attendance.

Across all of these areas you’ll be contributing in meaningful ways to the success of our new equity, diversity and belonging strategy.

Your experience of using your previous roles to advance these essential issues will be crucial to both the work we do and the mindset and processes we make integral to our work.

Look, we don’t always get it right – I certainly don’t. But one of our organisational values is learning.

This means you’ll always be supported to try something new, confident in the knowledge that if it doesn’t pan out, we’ll be more interested in what we can learn for future.

I’m particularly keen to hear from people from communities that are under-represented in the PR industry.

I look forward to working with you.

Best wishes,

Jon Ryan
