Reports to Project Manager: Voices for Health Equity

National Voices 

Making what matters to people matter in health and care 

National Voices is the leading coalition of health and social care charities in England. We have more than 200 members covering a diverse range of health conditions and communities, connecting us with the experiences of millions of people. We work together to strengthen the voice of people: patients, service users, carers, their families, and the voluntary organisations that work for them. 

Our Vision: 

People shaping their health and care. 

Our Mission: 

We advocate for more inclusive and person centred health and care, shaped by the people who use and need it the most. 

We do this by: 
 

• Understanding and advocating for what matters to people especially those living with health conditions and groups who experience inequalities. 

• Finding common cause across communities and conditions by working with member charities and those they support. 

• Connecting and convening charities, decision makers and citizens to work together to change health and care for good. 
   

The Role 

National Voices has been commissioned by the Care Quality Commission (CQC) to deliver their work with the CQC Public Engagement Network. The Public Engagement Network is a group of 200+ charities with reach into communities experiencing health inequalities across England. By engaging with these organisations, the CQC’s aim is to ensure that local health and care services meet the needs and preferences of the communities they serve. 

For both organisations this is much more than just another engagement contract, it is a new partnership designed to make the voices the CQC hears from more than the sum of its parts. In our work with the Public Engagement Network, we are committed to:

Our approach to hybrid working 

We recognise the importance of coming together regularly, in-person, as a team, so we can share learnings and spend social time with each other. We also recognise that people need flexibility, and that homeworking enables focused work and can fit well in people’s lives.

We ask all staff to take part in pre-arranged team meetings which take place every six weeks in our office space. We also might ask you to meet in-person with members of your team from time to time, or to be available for face-to- face meetings with clients and partners where this enhances the work.

We assume that this would usually not amount to more than one day per fortnight for people who work full time. We are happy to discuss how this sits in your life. This can be agreed by your line manager. 

In addition, because this role involves engaging with and recruiting to a large network of VCSE organisations, the post holder will be required to regularly attend in-person events across England. These are likely to take place around once a month and may sometimes require overnight stays.

Please note that our offices are fully wheelchair accessible and that we are committed to making our workplace fully inclusive. 

Application guidance 

Please submit a cover letter along with a CV to apply. 

Applications should be addressed to our Director Evidence and Improvement, Sarah Sweeney, and submitted through CharityJob.

Please specify any access or other requirements of which we need to be aware for the online interview.

The deadline for applications is noon on 20th March 2026. (Please note: National Voices reserves the right to close applications before this date if required.)

The interviews will take place on Thursday 26th March on Microsoft Teams. Details of an interview task and interview questions will be emailed to you in advance.

We are committed to diversifying our team in order to broaden the insight and experiences we can draw on, and to do our work more credibly. In particular, we would welcome applications from people from racial and ethnic minority backgrounds and men, who are both underrepresented in our team. Our offices are fully accessible and we are a Disability Confident and an LGBT+ friendly employer.

This is an exciting opportunity to gain HR exposure in an international organisation to begin or further your HR career. Your role will be busy and varied – including dealing with routine HR queries, providing a full administration service across the employee life cycle, maintaining our HR information system and supporting the development of the people pages of our internal online platform.

You will have excellent administration skills and experience (including use of Microsoft Office), ideally in an HR setting. You will be highly organised, methodical in your approach to work and have meticulous attention to detail. A willingness to learn new systems and acquire new knowledge and skills is essential, as is the ability to maintain a high degree of confidentiality.

Your excellent interpersonal and communication skills will enable you to build positive, productive work relationships with colleagues and ensure that our People Department remains a trusted and approachable service for managers and employees.

You will be joining a really supportive and friendly People Team, committed to working collaboratively to provide a high-quality and responsive people service to the organisation.

You will enjoy working in a fast-paced environment, where the ability to respond swiftly to changing organisational and team needs is paramount. In return, the role offers the opportunity to work within an international, impactful and ground-breaking organisation, at the forefront of global conservation. In addition, Fauna & Flora offers a generous pension contribution, attractive annual leave allowance and life insurance.

Our offices are located in central Cambridge, just a few minutes’ walk from glorious historic buildings and museums, the picturesque River Cam, the central market and shopping centre, and a host of cafés and restaurants.
