About the role
We are recruiting for a Policy Officer to join on a full-time basis, working 35 hours per week, on a permanent contract. This is a home-based role, with occasional travel required to attend team meetings.
Please note, this role has a slightly different focus and requirements to the maternity cover contract Policy Officer also being advertised currently.
This role is key to supporting Alzheimer’s Society’s ambitions to drive major system and policy change in diagnosis, care and treatment across England, Northern Ireland and Wales at an exciting time in dementia policy. Evidence-based, collaborative, engaging and innovative policymaking will be central to everything the Policy Officer does.
As Policy Officer you will play an important role in determining what the Society thinks about the big issues affecting people affected by dementia. Through robust scoping and policy development, you will help to identify the action needed to affect change and help ensure our influencing activity is evidence-driven, timely and relevant across the three nations in which we work – nationally and locally.
You will be an expert policy advisor to colleagues across the Society and support Policy Managers to deliver against agreed integrated plans, including helping to monitor progress and performance and working with others to gather evidence, insight and data to underpin our policy work. Key to the success of this role is engaging others in the policy development process, sharing analysis, opinion and insight to inspire high-quality, dynamic policymaking.
First stage interviews for this role have been provisionally scheduled to take place via MS Teams on Tuesday 31st March. This will likely be followed by an in-person second interview on Thursday 9th April.

You’ll also have worked in a complex policy environment, and you’ll have a sound understanding of the wider political environment, preferably in relation to health and care. You’ll have experience involving patients, service users and/or those living with long-term health conditions in your work.
Crucially, you will be a team player, naturally collaborative, with good attention to detail and be curious and challenging of the status quo. You will be a good communicator with the ability to use written/verbal communication skills to build positive relationships with stakeholders and produce high-quality and accessible policy content. This includes translating highly complex data and developments into insightful commentary and recommendations.
What you’ll focus on:
- Scoping, developing and working with others to mobilise our organisational policy positions, in line with agreed organisational priorities.
- Proactively horizon scanning and developing insightful analysis and communicating the implications of key developments in the external environment to the rest of the organisation, including to senior colleagues.
- Helping to monitor and report progress on our policy activity in line with the Evidence, Policy and Influencing integrated plan, noting how policy work is informing our approach to national and local influencing.
- Ensuring the experience and insight of people with and affected by dementia is at the heart of all our policy work.
- Embedding all work in a systems leadership approach, working across organisational and geographical boundaries to achieve objectives.
- Driving engagement, awareness and involvement in our policy work through effective communication across the Society and beyond to ensure maximum impact.
- Building impactful, sustainable relationships with external stakeholders such as partners in NHS systems, Government, think tanks and other charities, to further our strategic objectives.
