About Results UK

Results’ mission is to work with others to create the public and political will to end poverty, by enabling people to exercise their personal and political power for change.​

Internationally, we work with Results organisations around the world, and in health we also work with partners in India, Kenya, Zambia and elsewhere through the international ACTION Global Health Advocacy Partnership. Results UK believes the building blocks of the end of poverty can be most simply articulated as “health, education, economic opportunities, and citizen voice”. These are the things that all people, wherever they live, need and have a right to. 

Within these areas, we prioritise a small number of specific issues where we can have the most influence to achieve much needed development progress. Across all our issues, our aims are to mobilise resources, change policy, and create the public and political will that will bring about change.

Job Details

In 2024, someone dies of Tuberculosis (TB) every 20 seconds. TB is the world’s deadliest infectious disease and yet very few people know it still exists. Worse still, it is entirely treatable and curable, yet each year 1.5 million people die of TB. The world’s failure to adequately address TB and other diseases of poverty is due in large part to a lack of political will. 

The Parliamentary Advocacy Officer will lead the TB portfolio within the Parliamentary Advocacy Team, working alongside a Policy Officer to deliver meaningful and impactful advocacy to UK politicians and other key stakeholders to end the TB epidemic. Reporting to the Parliamentary Advocacy Manager, the post-holder will also support the wider work of the Parliamentary Team on a cross-cutting approach to parliamentary advocacy. 

The Parliamentary Officer will provide the Secretariat for Parliament’s All Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) for Tuberculosis, which works primarily through the UK parliament to push the government to improve its policies on TB and devote more resources to tackling the epidemic. The post-holder will also assume a key role in the UK Academics and Professionals Against TB (UKAPTB) network - an advocacy group of UK-based doctors, nurses, researchers and others working to eradicate TB. 

Key responsibilities​

Parliamentary advocacy

• Working with the Head of Parliamentary Advocacy and others in the organisation to develop and implement a high impact and politically astute advocacy strategy for tuberculosis.

• Contribute to the development of Results’ overarching parliamentary advocacy strategy, working closely with the Head of Parliamentary Advocacy and other members of the team, aiming to identify, educate, and ask for action while supporting Parliamentarians to take action that will lead to meeting our goals and objectives.

• Lead on the parliamentary work on tuberculosis for Results UK, by building and strengthening relationships with MPs and Peers that result in them championing the end of poverty, specifically in taking action on tuberculosis, and building support for research and development around tuberculosis.

• Provide the secretariat function to the All-Party Parliamentary Group (APPG) on Tuberculosis. The APPG secretariat/coordinator function includes guiding the Group’s work programme and activities, arranging meetings and events, corresponding with the APPG Officers and Members, briefing MPs and Peers to ask questions or speak in parliamentary debates and representing the Group externally, for example with the Global Fund, the Stop TB Partnership and others.

• Lead the planning, delivery and evaluation of Parliamentary Delegations to implementing countries and advocacy tours to the UK, working with the relevant Policy Advocacy Officer and others in the Parliamentary Team.

• Work closely with the Grassroots Advocacy Team to ensure parliamentary and grassroots campaigning activity is coordinated and the greatest impact is achieved between the relationships our grassroots campaigners build with their local MPs, and the work led from the office to support MPs in Parliament.

• Ensure our parliamentary advocacy and relationships always remain non-partisan and cross-party, in line with our charitable aims and objectives.

Partners and coalitions

• Liaise with other global Results organisations, the ACTION Global Health Advocacy Partnership Secretariat and other ACTION partners to coordinate our parliamentary advocacy at a global level.

• Contribute content to Results UK’s website, blog and social media to help achieve our organisational objectives and strengthen our brand presence. 

• Publicise the APPG's activities, primarily through its website and twitter account. 

• Represent Results at external meetings and events in relation to  advocacy around tuberculosis. 

Organisational Development

• Carry out effective monitoring, evaluation and learning of your work, recording activity and outcomes that enables Results UK to measure its success, in addition to measuring the impact of your activities towards these outcomes.

• Be a key part of Results UK’s organisational development by participating in strategic discussions, evaluations, sharing your experience and ideas, and working flexibly to support other staff as required.

• Actively develop and support funding ideas to help appropriately expand Results UK’s portfolio in close collaboration with the Head of Parliamentary Advocacy and the Operations team.

• Build new and strengthen existing relationships with donors, external partners, and our advocacy targets.

• Together with the Senior Policy Advocacy Officer for Tuberculosis, be responsible for regular reporting to grant funders. 

• Be flexible and undertake other tasks as required.
