The Policy and Public Affairs Department at Alzheimer’s Research UK is a dynamic and fast-growing team driving change to influence political stakeholders and shape policies that advance dementia research, improve access to early diagnosis, and prepare health systems for future treatments. The team also champions public health policies to reduce dementia risk.
The Policy Communications team sits within the Communications Department but works collaboratively with the Policy and Public Affairs Departments to maximise the success and influence of their work by gaining cut-through with key audiences and inspiring positive, urgent action.
The Policy Communications Manager plays a pivotal role in influencing government action, engaging campaigners, and shaping the media narrative on critical issues such as dementia risk reduction and new treatments. This high-impact position involves driving proactive media coverage, managing press bids, and pitching stories to national journalists, all while aligning efforts with broader communication strategies. With a focus on impactful storytelling, you’ll elevate the charity’s voice as a leading expert on dementia policy and grow its reputation as a thought leader nationally and internationally. You’ll also lead and inspire a small team, managing two Policy Communications Officers.
