Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading dementia charity. We provide information and support, improve care, fund research, and create lasting change for people affected by dementia. Policy Officer (Health and Integration) Responsibilities: Because of the lack of a cure, people with dementia rely on the health service for their care from diagnosis to end-of-life, to help them live well with the condition. We are looking for a skilled individual to play a central role in Alzheimer's Society's influencing efforts. We seek to achieve reform that enables people to live their lives the way they choose, in the places they call home, and in communities where we care about and support one another. We know that people and their carers often can feel unsupported by the health service or are left falling between gaps as their condition worsens and they need to transition from community care to hospital care and then onto end-of-life support. With the health and care bill expected to be made statute from April 2022, there are new opportunities to improve the integration and quality of care for those living with dementia. We need someone keen to take the opportunity to be at the centre of our public engagement response and influencing activity. You will be eager to be involved with and quickly become expert at one of the most politically and personally important policy areas. We also know these healthcare reforms will take time and building a strong basis of policy evidence is at the heart of Alzheimer's Society's influencing plans for the coming years. You will play a vital role in growing and maintaining Alzheimer's Society's reputation with key stakeholders as a trusted expert on health and integration. This national role will analyse policy developments in health and integration, drive forward influencing activity through policy development and analysis, and proactively engage and maintain relationships with external stakeholders. You will be expected to write clear and far-reaching papers and briefings, respond to rapid inquiries from press and public, and work side-by-side with our national and regional public affairs and campaigns teams as well as research evidence and communications, and media colleagues among others. Policy Officer (Health and Integration) Requirements: We're looking for an individual with experience of working in a policy related role, ideally with knowledge of the health and integration policy space especially within the mental health remit and health inequalities. Alternatively, similar experience of areas that are especially important to people with dementia or other long-term conditions is acceptable such as social care, transport, physical activity or co-production. You will need strong analytical, research and influencing skills. You will ideally have project management experience and good presentation and interpersonal skills as you will be expected to work independently on all aspects of a project, from conception to completion, which may cover evidence gathering, drafting reports, and influencing stakeholders to adopt our recommendations. About Alzheimer's Society: Alzheimer's Society is the UK's leading dementia charity. We provide information and support, improve care, fund research, and create lasting change for people affected by dementia.
