We’re a dedicated, inspiring and forward-thinking healthcare charity. Our mission is to improve the bone health of the nation and prevent osteoporosis by influencing healthcare providers and professionals, supporting services to help our beneficiaries and driving research.

We’re also proud to have a committed, highly engaged workforce, as shown by our employee engagement rating, and we want to attract the brightest and the best to help us beat this condition and change society for the better.

About the role

This is a policy and public affairs role focused on influencing UK Government, Parliament and the NHS.

You will support our work by combining policy analysis with hands-on political engagement. This includes:

  • Drafting briefings, parliamentary questions and stakeholder communications 
  • Monitoring political and policy developments and advising on their implications 
  • Supporting engagement with MPs, peers, civil servants and NHS stakeholders 
  • Contributing to consultations and policy submissions 
  • Helping deliver parliamentary activity, including APPG work and events 

This is a fast-paced role with shifting priorities, linked to the political cycle.

Do you have…

  • A good understanding of how UK politics and policymaking works in practice, and how organisations influence it 
  • Experience in a policy, public affairs or political role (for example in Parliament, a charity, consultancy or government) 
  • Strong writing skills, with the ability to produce clear, concise material for political audiences 
  • The ability to interpret complex information and explain what matters and why 
  • Strong organisation skills and the ability to manage competing priorities

If this is you, and you’re looking to join a fantastic organisation and team where you can really make a difference, we’d love to hear from you.

Location - In this role, you would benefit from the flexibility of working on a fully remote (UK based) basis. If you are local to the Bath area, there is the option to work on a hybrid basis from our central Bath office at least 20% of your time each month.
