In her time in parliament Jo Cox MP established a commission on loneliness with Seema Kennedy MP. After her murder this became known as the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission, and was pivotal in bringing about and influencing the UK government’s first loneliness strategy.
Seven years on from the publication of the Jo Cox Loneliness Commission’s report, we have received funding from The Astra Foundation to establish a new Loneliness Policy Group for the voluntary sector to ensure a joined up approach and collaboration on this issue.
As Public Affairs and Policy Manager (Loneliness) at the Jo Cox Foundation you'll establish this group and lead it, working with trusted partners to generate policy recommendations and engaging policy makers, elected representatives, and other decision makers to advocate for their implementation.
As you would expect the Jo Cox Foundation has historically strong relationships with politicians across parties. This is especially true of our work on loneliness, where we continue to have unrivalled access to Ministers and Civil Servants.
This is an incredibly exciting opportunity to develop this area of work at the Foundation and drive policy change for the loneliness sector. Through this, you’ll continue the positive legacy already established for Jo in the field of loneliness and support our vision of a less lonely, better connected society in the UK.
