Literacy changes everything. It gives you the tools to get the most out of life, and the power to shape your future. It opens the door to the life you want. But low literacy is inextricably linked to poverty. Over the last 30 years, the National Literacy Trust have continued to work with people who need them the most, supporting schools, families and communities on a local and national level.

The Policy and Public Affairs Manager will work as part of a small policy team, with colleagues across the organisation, and internal and external stakeholders, to help shape Government policy on a range of issues relating to literacy and disadvantage.

Key responsibilities

* Monitor and analyse developments in public policy and manage public affairs activity in line with our organisational strategy
* Write succinct and influential reports, consultation responses, briefings, articles and web pages on policy issues for a range of audiences
* Organise policy-focused events including managing invite lists, event logistics and related communications and messaging, working with the media team where necessary
* Build and maintain relationships with Parliamentarians, policymakers, and partner organisations to influence literacy policy.
* Coordinate the activity of the All-Party Parliamentary Group on Literacy, including engaging politicians and policymakers, organising meetings, maintaining appropriate paperwork and drafting policy briefings
* Manage the delivery of policy activity supported by our corporate partners, including coordinating meetings, providing updates and ensuring targets are met
* Advise programme teams on related policy activities and provide briefings

What we're looking for

The successful candidate will demonstrate the following essential skills and experience:
* Ability to understand and articulate academic research and policy papers
* Excellent writing skills, including drafting policy papers and briefings
* Experience of public affairs and managing policy activity
* Experience of working in a policy-related role (e.g., charity, civil service)

The ideal candidate will demonstrate the following desirable criteria:
* Understanding of literacy / early years / education sector
* Understanding of local and/or national government structures and processes
* Experience of senior stakeholder management and partnership development, including cross-sector campaigns
* Intermediate quantitative skills (e.g., analysis of DfE datasets in Excel)
* Event management

The NLT team are passionate about their mission and have a strong and positive working culture, based on shared values and respect. This role is primarily home-based, but you will need to be able to attend the office in London (Vauxhall) at least 2-3 times a month and be willing and able to attend meetings, events and briefings in London on a regular basis. Travel to and from London is not covered by expenses, therefore you will need to be based within easy access to London.
