Job description

We’re currently looking for a Head of Public Engagement and Public Dialogue, offered on a permanent basis, to help us deliver our mission. This is a part time position working 28 hours per week (0.8 FTE).

What’s it like working at the IOP?

The IOP is a friendly, inclusive and ambitious organisation. Diversity and inclusion are central to how we work. We focus on supporting our people to thrive, offering competitive pay, great development opportunities and a generous benefits package.

Some of our benefits include:

  • An excellent pension scheme
  • Private medical insurance, life assurance, dental insurance and a healthcare cash plan
  • Eye care vouchers, annual flu vaccinations, long service awards and access to an employee assistance programme
  • 25 days’ annual leave as a standard, in addition to floating bank holidays
  • Flexible working opportunities

The Role

What will I be doing?

You’ll be responsible for a range of activities, including:

  • Designing, commissioning, and delivering the IOP’s public engagement strategy
  • Reaching diverse public audiences across the UK and Ireland, strengthening public understanding and appreciation of physics through strategic, impactful, and inclusive engagement activities
  • Leading a team to deliver high quality and high impact programmes and projects
  • Leading fundraising to support the IOP's public engagement and public dialogue work

Projects you may work on include:

  • Overseeing the IOP’s UK and Ireland public engagement and dialogue programme, ensuring activities align with societal challenges and/or physics themes (e.g., climate change, health)
  • The IOP’s Limit Less initiative which aims to break down barriers that can put off young people from underrepresented backgrounds from pursuing physics
  • Administering the IOP’s Public Engagement Grants Scheme (PEGS)

Who will I work with?

You’ll work closely with a range of colleagues and stakeholders, including:

  • Multiple IOP teams, including EDI, policy and public affairs, communications and marketing, membership and national teams
  • The IOP's Business Development Group to help shape the IOP's overall approach to fundraising
  • Equipping members with the tools and resources to engage the public effectively through a member-led approach to public engagement
  • Working in partnership with organisations in and beyond STEM

Ideally, we hope you’ll apply if you bring:

Essential:

  • A track record of designing and delivering high quality and wide-reaching public engagement in partnership with other organisations and with a track record of reaching different public audiences (ideally within a membership organisation)
  • Experience of managing high performing teams and collaborating with peers
  • Experience with and in depth understanding of audience research and acting on it to ensure diversity of reach
  • Experience of budgeting and performance management of programmes

Nice to have:

  • Experience of identifying risks associated with projects and activities and implementing effective mitigation plans
  • Skilled in overseeing multiple projects and ensuring quality assurance through evaluation and monitoring processes
  • Experience in influencing decision-making at senior levels and providing strategic advice based on sound analysis and judgment
  • Familiarity with cross-functional collaboration, fostering alignment across diverse teams and disciplines

At the IOP, we know that great candidates don’t always tick every box. If your experience looks a little different, but you bring enthusiasm, curiosity and a willingness to learn, we’d love to hear from you.

How to apply

Alongside your CV, please include a cover letter explaining how you meet the person specification.

How will I be working?

We operate a flexible, trust based working model that gives colleagues autonomy over how, when and where they work, while recognising the value of in person collaboration. You will be assigned a base office, with hybrid working offered as standard.

You will engage in regular in person collaboration with your team (as operational appropriate), as well as with colleagues across the wider organisation, to ensure effective operational alignment and to support our inclusive approach to working.

As an organization we meet in person once a quarter at our Head Office in Kings Cross, London. 

Why join the IOP?

The IOP is the professional body and learned society for physics in the UK and Ireland. As a charity, we’re passionate about increasing public understanding of physics and supporting a diverse and inclusive physics community. 

We’re committed to creating a welcoming and inclusive culture for everyone. If you need any reasonable adjustments during the application or recruitment process, please let us know we’re always happy to help.

Please note whilst we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role, we warmly encourage applications from candidates who already have the right to work in the UK and Ireland.
