You will fight for the hospice sector and people who need their support, helping us to create a country where no one misses out on the care they need at the end of their lives. This is a significant time for hospice and end of life care. Hospices across the UK are in the worst financial situation they have faced for 20 years. The funding crisis means hospices are cutting services and making redundancies. Our campaigning efforts have recently led to £125m in short term funding for the hospice sector and a commitment to a Modern Service Framework for palliative care and end of life care. As well as a spotlight on hospices in the 10 year health plan and unprecedented parliamentary scrutiny of the way hospices are funded. The momentum around palliative care and hospices mean there is no shortage of opportunities to influence the policy and political agenda. We have strong influence in Parliament and have built significant interest in hospice care among policymakers. We are an important voice in the conversation around Assisted Dying, which will have a significant impact on palliative and end of life care. With this momentum and opportunity, we are looking for a talented and committed Policy and Public Affairs Manager to help us shape the future of palliative and end of life care. We are looking for a proactive and driven policy and public affairs professional. You will be curious about how best to improve people's experiences of death, dying and bereavement and strengthen the contribution of the hospice sector to this. You will have excellent influencing and communication skills and sharp instincts that enable you to quickly understand and analyse the impact of external developments. As well as a collaborative mindset and commitment to building coalitions to maximise our impact. You will provide leadership but must also be willing to pitch in at all levels to get things done. Excellent project management skills will mean you can identify where our resource is best spent and how to delegate tasks. This is your chance to play a key role in creating a country where no one misses out on the care they need at the end of their lives.
