Are you a policy or campaigns leader who wants to drive real-world change?

Do you want to use your advocacy and communications skills to challenge injustice and amplify excluded voices?

At HCT, we know healthcare should work for everyone – but too often, it doesn’t. We’ve proven what’s possible: our work on hepatitis C has transformed services nationally, and we’re expanding into cancer prevention, harm reduction, needle exchange, and many other areas. We’re also at the forefront of the fight for justice for those affected by the Infected Blood scandal.

We’re looking for someone who can bring creativity, confidence, and passion to help us shift policy and public attitudes, amplify the voices of marginalised communities, and hold government to account. This is a pivotal moment for us organisationally as we seek to drive major change for the communities we work with, from drug policy to criminal justice to infected blood. The successful candidate will have excellent partnership-building skills across Government, VCS, NHS and Whitehall; have a strong focus on social justice; and have a real belief in the power of working closely with communities.

As Head of Policy & Advocacy, you will:

• Lead bold campaigns that influence government, shift public debate, and secure justice for excluded communities, including those affected by the Infected Blood scandal.
• Champion health equity: keeping hepatitis C elimination, harm reduction, and wider inclusion health issues firmly on the national agenda.
• Amplify lived experience by ensuring our campaigns, media work, and policy influencing are shaped by and centred on the voices of our teams and communities.
• Build power through partnerships: working with partner charities, health leaders, and campaigners to push for systemic change.
• Shape and oversee communications: from press engagement to social media — making sure our messages cut through and inspire action.
• Guide and support colleagues: line managing our Senior Policy & Campaigns Officer and playing an active role in our senior management team.

You’ll be someone who:

• Has experience influencing policy and shifting narratives – whether through campaigns, communications, advocacy, or all three.
• Knows how to build coalitions and partnerships, and can navigate Westminster, Whitehall, and beyond.
• Can work strategically and independently, spotting opportunities and acting on them.
• Is motivated by justice, equality, and creating a fairer future.
• Brings excellent communication skills – from crafting persuasive messages to building great relationships.
• Understands the value of evidence, but also the power of storytelling and lived experience in driving change.

This role offers real autonomy: you’ll have the space to shape our influencing and communications work, backed by a committed team and a growing organisation ready to amplify your impact.

About The Hepatitis C Trust

The Hepatitis C Trust (HCT) work with people who face severe health inequalities, including people who have hepatitis C and other health needs. With almost 500 staff and volunteers, we are the biggest lived experience organisation working in Inclusion Health in the UK. Our teams work in every community NHS area and in every prison in England, conducting outreach and providing a link between NHS services and the people they struggle to engage. We also work in parts of Scotland and Wales.

We are a leading part of the UK programmes to eliminate viral hepatitis, and we work with national and international partners to strengthen global elimination. We have a growing voice across Inclusion Health. And we are a core participant within the UK Infected Blood Inquiry, working closely with the communities affected, the Government and the NHS to ensure the Inquiry recommendations are implemented and everyone impacted receives long-overdue justice. 

We offer excellent staff support, generous annual leave and a range of employee benefits. We are a Living Wage and Flexible Working employer, and a signatory to the Race at Work Charter.  

We are looking for a Public Affairs Manager to help drive forward our political engagement. In this pivotal role, you will contribute to the development of our Public Affairs strategy, lead on key areas of political engagement, and ensure our position is clearly represented to policymakers.

We are the UK’s leading charity for Crohn’s Disease and Ulcerative Colitis. These are life-long conditions with no cure, affecting over half a million people across the UK.

Since 1979, Crohn’s & Colitis UK has been here to support everyone affected, campaigning for faster diagnosis, better treatments and, ultimately, a cure.

We are now seeking an ambitious and determined Director of Income Generation to drive a step-change in our fundraising and help shape our future success.

This is a pivotal time to join us. Later this year we will launch our new strategy, built around a bold vision that puts everyone affected by Crohn’s and Colitis at its heart.

As a member of our dynamic leadership team, you will play a critical role in inspiring our community of supporters, unlocking transformational partnerships and securing the resources needed to deliver our strategy. We are looking for a creative, driven and collaborative leader who thrives on building relationships, driving innovation and leading talented teams to achieve more.

In return, you will find an empowering, energetic working environment rooted in our values and the full support of our Chief Executive and Board as you deliver impact and shape the future of our fundraising.

About us 

Women and Girls Network (WGN) is a pan-London organisation that supports women and girls affected by all forms of gendered-based violence. Our overall aim is to promote, preserve and restore the mental health and well-being of women and girls who have experienced, or are at risk of, gendered-based violence, whilst working towards a society free of gendered-based violence.

We do this by:

• Providing women-only holistic and seamless therapeutic services, which meet women and girls’ needs and contribute to total and sustainable recovery from the experiences of violence.
• Evidencing the impact of gendered-based violence and presenting this information in appropriate forums to affect social change in attitudes towards, and responses to, gendered-based violence.
• Developing good practice in the sector by providing training and guidance on specialist service provision and the development of culturally appropriate service delivery.

WGN is proud to be an accredited Living Wage Employer and a member of The London VAWG Consortium, Halo Code, and Helplines Partnership.
