Health Policy Advisor
Home based, remote working 
£37,000 - £42,000 pa plus excellent benefits
35 hours per week

The Health Policy Advisor for our Insight and Policy Capability will work to guide RNID’s thinking on health policy and lead on the delivery of our health policy influencing work as part of our Health strategic programme.

The role entails horizon scanning, analysing evidence and identifying and acting upon opportunities to create real change with and for our communities. You will influence health policy at a national level and devise strategies to impact the decisions that ICBs make on audiology services, wax removal and the accessibility of their services. You will also maintain our health policy statements and be an internal source of knowledge on the NHS.

You will:

• Work alongside the Policy and Campaigns Lead and Audiology Manager in leading our health policy development and influencing work
• Develop strong evidence-based arguments and policy positions, informed by people with hearing loss and external environment scanning
• Scan the external environment to identify opportunities and develop and deliver influencing plans
• Build partnerships with other organisations and stakeholders and secure consensus and support for RNID health policy recommendations
• Engage people who are deaf or have hearing loss in the development and delivery of your work

You will have a track record of delivering change at national or commissioner levels in a health and social care context. You will be an expert in health policy with a deep understanding of the health and social care policy landscape across the UK and the opportunities to create change within the NHS. You will be naturally outward looking and will have a strong grasp of the opportunities and risks in the external environment. You will have experience of engaging and influencing stakeholders using a strong evidence base. You will be tenacious and relish working at pace in a complex, rapidly changing environment.

Our health influencing has achieved many things. We successfully lobbied for a national Action Plan on Hearing Loss, secured NICE guidance setting out the need to provide patients with hearing aids, and established the evidence linking untreated hearing loss to dementia. 

But we are in a tough external environment for our health influencing. The NHS is under intense pressure and we know that audiology services don’t have the status or resources they need. There is no systematic screening for hearing loss in place and wax removal services aren’t available in large parts of the country. Too often the NHS doesn’t meet the communication needs of people who are deaf or have a hearing loss, and audiology services haven’t taken advantage of the new technology which can improve patient experience and outcomes.

Devolution within the NHS also means we cannot only pursue our objectives at a national level. We need to complement our existing expertise in persuading Westminster and Whitehall with an understanding of how ICBs operate, what improves commissioning decisions, what drives systems and service innovation, and how to get traction locally.

We are RNID: the national charity supporting the 12 million people in the UK who are deaf, have hearing loss or tinnitus.

Together, we will end the discrimination faced by our communities, help people hear better now and fund world-class research to restore hearing and silence tinnitus.

We work with our communities and partners across industry, government, charity, education and more to change life for the better.

We champion the value of difference and equality and celebrate our diverse and inclusive workforce. We actively encourage applications from eligible candidates from BAME backgrounds or who are deaf or hard of hearing. With almost 20% of our employees having a disability we proudly hold Disability Confident Leader status and guarantee an interview for disabled applicants meeting the minimum essential criteria.

Closing date: 2 January 2024.
Interview date: w/c 8 January 2024.

MUSIC SUPPORT - OUR MISSION

No issue is too big or too small to be outside our area of operation. We are here to help.

Our mission at Music Support is to make sure that nobody in the UK music industry is left to be affected alone with mental ill-health or addiction via our support services and to facilitate prevention and earlier intervention through education, training and workshops.

We believe that those in our industry who are susceptible to mental ill-health and/or addiction are particularly vulnerable due to the environments, lifestyles and stresses that exist within.

Wherever in the industry the individual may be, stigmas surrounding these conditions are still so strong that they can go ignored, unrecognised or untreated until it is too late. We believe that everybody is entitled to confidential, empathetic and non-judgemental support and that the industry should have access to the highest quality of educational workshops and training, delivered professionally and ethically by highly qualified personnel. 

Music Support is run by people from the music industry, for people who work in music and live events.

About the PKD Charity

Founded in 2000, we’re the first and only UK charity solely dedicated to improving the lives of an estimated 70,000 individuals and their families affected by polycystic kidney disease (PKD) in the UK.

PKD is a range of life-threatening inherited conditions that can cause kidney failure and affect other organs in the body such as the liver, brain, heart and bowels. Most people with PKD live with an uncertain prognosis, intermittent pain and infections, and then have to undergo life-saving dialysis or transplant in their 50s. A few babies have a rare form of PKD which results in death during pregnancy or shortly after birth; the surviving children often have to have either a kidney or liver transplant before the age of 10.

We provide reliable, accredited information, advice and personalised support. We raise awareness of the burden of PKD, both clinical and psychosocial. We fund research aimed at understanding more about PKD and the discovery of therapies that will improve quality and longevity of life.
