Our client’s Policy team are responsible for making sure that they are well positioned within the policy community, including the UK government and devolved administrations, so that they can influence and drive forward this valuable activity.  Work in recent years has focused on areas such as modern slavery, mental health and quality in the construction industry – and that’s just a snapshot, with plenty more fascinating topics on the cards.

What they’re looking for…

To be successful in this role you’ll bring demonstrable experience in a policy or public affairs role, where you’ve consistently demonstrated thought leadership, writing, research, presentation and communication skills.  You’ll be enthusiastic and flexible, like a challenge and be ready to use your own judgement and initiative on a daily basis.  Most importantly – you’ll love working in the policy arena, and if you have experience of the construction industry and built environment, or of working in a professional body, all the better!
