Are you a public affairs professional looking for a new and exciting challenge? We are looking for someone with a proven track record in public affairs to join the Foundation’s Policy, Communications and Research directorate. You will be responsible for growing our public affairs activity to increase the impact of both the Foundation’s and our charity partners’ influencing. With experience of building strong relationships with key stakeholders, you will help to ensure the Foundation, and our partners are helping to shape government policy and practice across a range of complex issues. A varied and interesting role, alongside this public affairs focus, you will also work across the Policy team’s wider influencing – from analysing charities’ reports to managing grants focused on influencing change. You will get to work with a range of partners and stakeholders, from frontline charities and the people they support to think tanks, infrastructure charities and high-profile parliamentarians. It is an exciting time to join the Foundation, under new leadership and as we shape a new organisation-wide strategy for 2026 – and at a critical time for charities and the people they support facing significant challenges and with a government that has publicly committed to increased partnership with charities.

It is a full-time, permanent position but we are open to discussing the possibility of part-time or job share arrangements for the right person.
