Every childhood is worth fighting for. This is our belief. It drives us. And it motivates our award-winning Policy and Public Affairs team to shape law, policy and practice to ensure children can grow up free from abuse and neglect.

The Policy and Public Affairs (PAPA) team is part of the Strategy and Knowledge Directorate at the NSPCC. The PAPA team develops and holds the NSPCC's positions on key public policy issues and harnesses these to influence policy makers and external stakeholders across the UK.

We are recruiting a Senior Policy and Public Affairs Officer to join the child safety online (CSO) workstream within the wider PAPA team and lead the development of new policy positions and delivery of public affairs strategies to achieve change which tackles abuse and harm to children online.

The Senior Policy and Public Affairs Officer will:

• Create high-impact public affairs and parliamentary strategies to support objectives for child online safety.

• Produce high-quality, evidence-based policy outputs such as briefings, position statements, and consultation responses.

• Analyse various evidence sources to develop innovative solutions to complex problems.

• Maintain and utilise a network of key contacts across parliament, the civil service, industry, and civil society.

Person Specification:

• Strong public affairs and influencing abilities, with knowledge of parliamentary processes and the ability to build support among stakeholders.

• Proven experience in creating evidence-based policy positions and outputs on complex issues.

• Excellent analytical skills to collate and present data clearly, advocating for policy and legislative changes.

Strong interpersonal skills for building networks and influencing stakeholders.

• Ability to work collaboratively, with strong organisational and project management skills to handle competing priorities.

Join us and you'll become part of a team that cares about the work they do and the people they work with. You'll discover opportunities to grow, along with challenges and a shared purpose that'll bring the best out in you. And you'll get to find your own way to make a difference that means more, and that impacts millions of young lives.
