Join us and use your skills, knowledge, passion and energy to help us achieve a future free from arthritis.

Are you passionate about improving the lives of people with arthritis? Do you thrive on cultivating positive and professional relationships and collaborating with others to achieve success?

The Professional Engagement and Education Team at Versus Arthritis are looking for an experienced officer to support their new MSK SKILLs programme. 

About the role

 The Professional Engagement and Education Team works across the UK, delivering education and training courses, attending health and care conferences, supporting service improvement projects and developing resources to help provide health and care professionals with the skills, knowledge and information they need to improve outcomes for people with arthritis.

As the Professional Engagement Officer for England you will work alongside the Professional Engagement Manager to build relationships with health and care professionals, providing them with information, resources and support to deliver the best care possible for people with arthritis. 

You will support the recruitment and facilitation of a network of volunteers and involved people who will contribute to quality improvement and education projects, as well as helping to shape the work of the team. 

You will be part of an ambitious, creative and passionate team and will work collaboratively with other teams across the organisation. 

Our organisational values are United, Compassionate, Inclusive and Brave. We are looking for an individual who will strive to live out these values in their work every day.

About you

If your knowledge, skills and experience include the following then we’d love to hear from you:

• Experience of working within the third and/or public sector, preferably within the fields of health and social care. 
• Experience of leading projects with a range of audiences and of using insight methods to inform areas of work. 
• Experience of community development approaches including co-production and co-design and involving people with lived experience in decision making.

Purpose of the job

This role is an exciting opportunity for a proactive and driven individual to join the UK Youth Network Delivery Department.

Reporting to the Head of Programmes, you will be responsible for programme managing our Summer Jobs programme. As Programme Manager, you will deliver the programme to a high standard and that the benefits to young people are realised. This will include ensuring that colleagues and stakeholders are clear on their roles and delivering on them effectively, that programme deliverables are met, risks managed effectively, and delivery is within budget.

The Summer Jobs Programme is a paid employment initiative running from July to September 2025 and 2026, supporting vulnerable young people in England and Wales. It aims to reduce youth violence and improve future engagement in education, training, and work by removing barriers to employment and offering structured, empowering opportunities. This programme is delivered with a network of local youth work Delivery Partners and employers. Young people begin with a one-week pre-employment training course, followed by a five-week job placement. Throughout, they’re supported by both a local youth worker and an employer-based supervisor to ensure they receive consistent guidance.
