Policy and Public Affairs Officer (maternity leave)
Location: office in London, with mostly working from home, regular travel in England and Wales, and rare travel overseas.
Contract: full-time, to cover a team member’s maternity leave
Salary: £30,00
Closing date: Tuesday 26 May at 12 noon
Interview date: Thursday 11 June in person, in London
CSAN is the official agency of the Catholic Bishops’ Conference tackling the root causes of poverty and injustice affecting people who live in England and Wales. We’re facing a steep rise in poverty and significant pressures on social, economic and church resources. Currently, the Church is called to raise a prophetic voice against poverty and the rhetoric of division and work for the building of a more just society.
Over the last 20 years, CSAN has built up a network of 50 diocesan and direct service charities with a combined annual spend on social mission estimated at £400m, excluding the work of schools and religious congregations. Our members build up local community life in diverse ways, and many of them support individuals in difficulty, including with housing, prison and detention, social isolation, ill-health, violence, disability, employment, care, therapeutic and welfare support.
The key responsibilities of the post are:
1. To scan the social policy environment to capture developments in legislation, consultation papers and Bills relevant to the Caritas network for the purpose of comprehensive tracking and briefing.
2. To deliver an effective programme of Catholic advocacy and political campaigns that contributes to the common good, with particular attention to the priorities of the dignity of workers, child poverty, social care and end of life; supporting and connecting well with the team’s other activities, and where possible with the CSAN membership’s priorities,
3. To draft campaign and advocacy materials for the range of media channels used by CSAN and support the CEO in engaging with the press and approaches from campaigning organisations including contributing to CSAN’s social media networks.
4. To provide admin support and contribute to CSAN’s Alliances as required, especially the Advocacy Alliance and the Criminal Justice Alliance with information and education on policy and legislation.
5. To ensure that our advocacy is consistent with the Bishops’ understanding of the Church’s role in society and supports the priorities of the Bishops’ Conference, especially the Department for Social Justice.
6. To act as a conduit of information and communication between the Bishops’ Conference and the CSAN members, under the guidance of the CEO, assisting CBCEW where possible in gathering information and the lived experience of poverty.
7. To develop and contribute to practice materials for the network, especially in the areas of campaigning, advocacy, social policy and formation for mission.
8. To oversee monitoring of the Catholic press and relevant wider networks for relevant articles, developments and campaigns.
9. To support the general work of CSAN as required by the CEO, including leading in the development and organisation of the charity in specific areas subject to skills and experience.
The work of the small national team requires a high level of integrity and teamwork, respect for and capacity to navigate complex civil and church contexts at pace, and a stable commitment to personal formation and training. Our Policy and Public Affairs Officer (maternity leave) will bring a professional track record of relevant research and analysis, production of compelling communications, and diligent administration. A satisfactory basic DBS check and references are required.
CSAN is a member of Caritas Internationalis, one of the largest humanitarian networks in the world, with national agencies in over 160 countries, and among the most successful examples of organised Catholic social action in modern times.

Programme Manager
As the UK's biggest Children's Charity, Barnardo's is committed to improving outcomes for all children and young people. We supported 382,872 service users in 2020/21 and for the service users where ethnicity data was collected, 17.8% were Black or Asian.
Evidence indicates that many African, Asian and Caribbean communities face particular disadvantages and can experience barriers to accessing vital support services. Children and young people from these communities experience higher levels of social deprivation, school exclusion, unemployment, and contact with the criminal justice system. Maternal and infant outcomes are dramatically worse for Black and Asian women than for White women, and furthermore, the ethnic inequalities in health and wellbeing that existed in the UK before the pandemic have been exacerbated and made more apparent. We need to do something about this.
Now established with funding support, including from the People's Postcode Lottery, Barnardo's has launched SEEN, a Centre for Children & Young People of African, Asian & Caribbean Heritage. The Centre aims to deepen understanding of the experiences and challenges faced by these communities and drive improvements in outcomes through collaborative, cross-sector working – spanning health, social care, education, criminal justice, and the voluntary and community sector, including grassroots organisations.
We are now seeking a Programme Manager to provide strategic oversight, guidance, and support across the Centre's portfolio of work. The role will be responsible for developing and maintaining effective programme governance, enabling delivery, and supporting the overall operation of the Centre.
The successful candidate will bring strong expertise in systems change and a demonstrable commitment to advancing race equity, with the ability to translate these into impactful programmes, partnerships, and practice.
The activity of the Centre will exist around three elements:
The Spine: Our systems change work that will focus on 4 key work flows: Education and Employability, Physical Health and Emotional Wellbeing, Social Care & Informal Community Care, Police & Custody – looking at how we can change practice to improve outcomes
The Heart: Our work with Children and Young People so that they can feel the presence of the Centre and co-produce models for effective advocacy and policy change
The Arms: Our reach with locally rooted organisations that connects the work we both do to create change for Children and Young People
If you:
-have successfully managed projects or programmes
-can lead and inspire others to create lasting positive change for Black and Asian children and young people
-are a highly motivated and enthusiastic individual who views safeguarding children as the highest of priorities
-meet the person specification for the role
-have experience and/or understanding of the issues that affect children and young people of African, Asian and Caribbean heritage in the UK (desirable but non-essential)
...we would love to hear from you.
Please note due to the high volume of applications for some posts, this advert might close before the displayed closing date. We recommend that you apply for this role as soon as possible.
Pay & Reward Framework
We know that our colleagues go above and beyond in delivering our vital work, driven by their passion and commitment to Barnardo's values. We also know that we can only realise our ambitions and achieve better outcomes for more children, thanks to the talent, hard work and creativity of our people.
For all these reasons, we are committed to a new approach to pay and reward, to ensure it is fair, attractive and progressive, which was rolled out in April 2023. This is a positive change for the charity, and a part of our People & Culture Strategy. It will assist us in supporting colleagues to belong, thrive and grow in their colleague journey at Barnardo's and in time will offer clear routes of progression for colleagues in both their career and their pay.
Whilst the full pay band and salary range is advertised, our approach to starting salaries is to appoint between the minimum to mid-point of the pay band – this ensures that pay steps are available to reward our colleagues annually based on their contribution to excellence and alignment to our values and behaviours.
