Job Title: Public Affairs Manager
Reports to: Head of Policy and Campaigns
Location: Hybrid & Borough High Street, London SE1 (2 days a week in the office)
Salary: £46,000
Contract: 18 months (with potential for extension)
Hours: 35 hrs per week.
About the role
We’re looking for a resourceful, experienced public affairs manager to join our dedicated team working to bringjustice, meaningful recognition and lasting health improvements to a community that has suffered as a result of the biggest treatment scandal in NHS history.
This is a rare opportunity to work for an organisation with a high profile within the political and health policy landscape with a 50-year track record of effective advocacy for our small community of people living with genetic and acquired bleeding disorders and their families. Most importantly, this role has the potential to directly improve peoples’ lives.
Around two thirds of our members are impacted by the contaminated blood scandal of the 1970s and 80s, which was recently investigated by the Infected Blood Inquiry. The resulting report in 2024 recommended improved health resources for people with bleeding disorders as well as compensation and support for those infected and affected by the scandal.
Although significant progress has been made, there’s a lot more to do. Maintaining political pressure and keeping this issue in the public eye are essential to ensure our members receive the support and recognition they deserve. As public affairs manager you will bring energy, contacts, knowledge and ideas to strengthen and broaden engagement with MPs, peers and decision-makers.
In addition to our infected blood work, you will support other projects, including challenging gender inequality in accessing treatment and care and ensuring that people living with rare bleeding disorders have access to the latest cutting edge technologies.
Background and purpose
We are the only UK-wide charity for all those affected by a genetic bleeding disorder, a community of individuals and families, healthcare professionals and supporters.
For more than 75 years we have campaigned for better treatment, been a source of information and advice and supported people living with life-long conditions.
We want to ensure that everyone affected by a bleeding disorder:
Lives the best life that they can
Never feels alone or isolated
Feels empowered and confident.
We do this by:
Improving understanding about living with a bleeding disorder
Providing support at all life stages
Influencing and advocating on policy and access to treatment.
More than 40,000 men, women and children in the UK have a diagnosed bleeding disorder, and the number rises every year. Membership of the Haemophilia Society is free and open to all.
Key Responsibilities:
- Develop our public affairs strategy to forward the policy goals of THS
- Translate the governmenthealth strategy and communicate its impact on the bleeding disorders community.
- Support the APPG on Haemophilia and Contaminated Blood, acting in capacity as THS secretariat to the group
- Develop and maintain relationships with MPs, peers and other health policy stakeholders. Recognising and creating opportunities to promote the work and strategies of THS and raise issues in the houses
- Working closely with the team to lead on the legislative changes which would impact on the infected blood community
