What you will be achieving

As a key member of the Academy’s Policy Team, the Senior Policy Officer will play an important role at a critical moment for the organisation. This role will help the Policy team to plan and deliver a new set of priorities for 2026/27. Relevant priorities for this role include, but are not limited to:

  • Making the UK the best place in the world to have a career in medical sciences.

Within these overarching priorities, there are some distinct policy programmes the incoming Senior Policy Officer is likely to work on, which could include:

  • Maximising the impact of medical sciences in prevention and early detection.
  • Transforming the generation and application of clinical evidence to speed up translation from discovery to patient impact, ensuring equitable inclusion of underserved groups.
  • Making the UK a global leader in responsible, effective and equitable AI and data use across the biomedical sciences.
  • Conducting a foresight exercise to identify high-impact innovations that will be critical within the near future and ensure the health system is enabled to support them.

The Senior Policy Officer will be line managed by a Policy Manager.

  • Maintaining an excellent understanding of the policy landscape by monitoring developments and key policy issues, including the use of animals in research (please see the Academy’s statement on the use of animals in research).
  • Scoping potential new areas of policy work, and/or identify opportunities for the Policy Team.

External engagement

  • Collaborating with organisations from academia, Government, healthcare, industry and the charity sector.
  • Maintaining and developing an effective network of contacts across the sector (including our Fellows) to inform and increase the impact of policy work.

  • Coordinating across a wide range of Academy functions, including its Briefings, Impact, and Events capabilities, to maximise the effectiveness of policy work.
  • Working with the Communications and Engagement teams to co-develop relevant outputs and activities.
  • Briefing senior stakeholders for high-level meetings and events where necessary.
  • Supporting the development of core scripts on priority policy topics across the Policy team.
