Job description

This is a key role in fulfilling CEASE’s aim to drive legislative reform that strengthens accountability, scrutiny and regulation of all parts of the commercial sex industry and other vested commercial interests, which are driving sexual violence, abuse and exploitation. It is about holding the UK government accountable in its duty to protect citizens from high-harm industries, appealing to robust evidence, survivor testimony and a careful critical analysis of the ideological justifications that uphold it. 

The work crosses multiple different areas, from policing, online safety and child protection to violence against women and girls (VAWG). It involves close collaboration with experts and partner organisations through strategic partnerships and coalitions, and the building of trusted relationships with MPs, Peers, civil servants and other decision-makers.

This role sits within the Activism strand of CEASE’s strategy, alongside media outreach and commercial advocacy, and works closely with the Chief Executive and Strategic Director 

Main Duties and Responsibilities

A. Strategic Leadership

  • Work closely and effectively with the Chief Executive, Strategic Director and Trustees to advise on priorities and opportunities within this space.

  • Develop both short- and long-term political strategies to engage key stakeholders with CEASE’s policy solutions.

  • Identify and formulate strategies for gathering robust evidence on key issues where needed.

  • Shape policy recommendations in line with CEASE’s strategic priorities and emerging trends.

  • Ensure all external engagement reflects CEASE’s values and core messaging.

  • Contribute political intelligence and insight to CEASE’s wider strategic planning and organisational development.

B. Policy

Goal: To ensure CEASE’s policy recommendations are robust, evidence-based, survivor-informed and coherent.

  • Gather and present evidence on commercial and cultural drivers of sexual abuse and exploitation, and on systemic failures in regulation and enforcement.

  • Identify evidence gaps and devise effective means for CEASE or partners within our networks to fill them.

  • Produce policy briefings and consultation responses for parliamentarians and civil servants, often in collaboration with allies.

  • Monitor parliamentary business in Westminster, analysing legislation and proposing amendments grounded in evidence and framed for maximum impact.

  • Develop CEASE’s positions on new and emerging issues and technologies in line with our mission.

  • Prepare speeches and statements for the Chief Executive or Strategic Director to deliver to parliamentarians, committees and inquiries.

  • Integrate survivor insight and lived experience into policy and advocacy materials wherever appropriate.

  • Analyse, distil and present research findings to provide credible, compelling evidence for policymakers and stakeholders.

  • Track engagement outcomes and evaluate the impact of CEASE’s policy work, sharing learning internally.

C. Public Affairs

Goal: To ensure CEASE’s policy recommendations are seen, heard and acted upon.

  • Create opportunities to promote CEASE’s policy solutions in Westminster through roundtables, drop-ins and parliamentary events.

  • Engage directly with decision-makers, building trusted relationships across parties and with key officials.

  • Identify and support parliamentarians who can champion CEASE’s issues through speeches, strategic questions, debate briefings and Private Members’ Bills.

  • Build and maintain relationships with MPs, Peers, civil servants and officials in relevant government departments (Home Office, DCMS, DfE, etc.); participate in select committees and APPGs.

  • Monitor the political landscape to identify alignment between CEASE’s goals and current government priorities, debates and legislative timetables.

  • Collaborate with colleagues to nurture relationships with key stakeholders such as charities, public bodies, academic institutions, industry figures and experts.

  • Lead or contribute to policy-focused coalitions and alliances aimed at influencing government and legislative reform.

  • Support wider campaigns that leverage coalition backing (e.g. petitions, iParls or media initiatives), aligning messaging across CEASE’s team to amplify impact.

  • Track and evaluate the reach and influence of CEASE’s public affairs activities to inform ongoing strategy.

D. Research

  • Maintain awareness of political and legal developments in other countries and international bodies such as the UN.

  • Commission or collaborate on research that strengthens CEASE’s evidence base and credibility.

  • Distil complex research and policy information into accessible formats for internal and external audiences, in collaboration with the Chief Executive and Strategic Director.

  • Work with the wider CEASE team to “demystify” the political process and support civic and grassroots engagement.

E. Fundraising

  • Identify potential donors and funding opportunities through policy networks.

  • Contribute to the development of compelling funding cases linked to CEASE’s policy impact and advocacy outcomes.

General Responsibilities

  • Represent CEASE externally to promote its work and values.

  • Uphold CEASE’s ethical and professional standards at all times.

  • Undertake any other reasonable duties as directed by the Chief Executive.
