You will be setting the direction for our campaign plans and delivery, utilising a variety of creative methods to deliver campaign activity to increase support and engagement to enable successful influencing at a national and local level.

The role will work with the wider team to identify priority areas of campaigning across our priority areas of work; spanning young people's wellbeing and mental health, adolescent risk and vulnerability, and child poverty. You will set out an ambitious, strategic plan in line with these priorities alongside adapting to immediate opportunities to rapidly react and response to the external environment.

Key responsibilities will be to:

-Lead the campaigns and public advocacy work in line with defined policy and influencing priorities of the organisation, contributing to delivering and growing impact with and for young people.

-Set the organisational plan for delivering political campaigning activity, communicating this effectively to demonstrate and explain how campaigns activity will bring about policy change to positively impact young people.

-Create opportunities for young people, parent/carers and practitioners to be involved in campaigns and advocacy work, including having their voices heard by decision makers to inform policy change.

-Measure and capture the impact of campaigns and advocacy work, utilising data to form a powerful, compelling narrative to demonstrate the value of campaigning to influence change.

-Overseeing all campaign communications, externally and internally, to form an ambitious and inspiring tone and voice to political campaigning work.

-Direct line management and team group leadership, delivering specific projects and workstreams and contributing to the wider work of the Policy, Advocacy and Influencing team.

The Children's Society is committed to safeguarding and protecting the children and young people we work with. As such, all posts are subject to a safer recruitment process, which includes the disclosure of criminal records, vetting checks, and the provision of appropriate references.
