Current Vacancies
CARE Policy Support Officer
- CARE, Westminster (remote working options 2 days per week)
- £28,000-£30,000 (FTE) and generous staff benefits
- Full time
CARE (Christian Action, Research and Education) has been at the heart of research, advocacy, education programmes and social action projects that have sought to change perceptions of how the Bible can be the basis of effective public policy solutions to some of our biggest social and political challenges for almost 40 years.
This is an exciting time to join CARE! Following the appointment of our new Chief Executive in 2021, we have embarked on an ambitious new strategy for engaging with politics and policy development across the UK – speaking out for the vulnerable and the voiceless, informed by our conviction that the Bible tells a better story for human flourishing.
To help enable this, we are looking to grow our expert and high-achieving Public Policy Team. We are looking for an experienced, creative, organised, and skilled professional with fantastic attention to detail who is excited by the prospect of supporting and facilitating the smooth running of the Public Policy Team. You will be the sort of person who makes things happen without people realising how. You will always be a step ahead, and take pride in anticipating needs and identifying solutions to make the life of the team flow.
You will be passionate about the relevance of God’s word for the politics and culture of today and excited about bringing faith, good research and practical evidence to bear on public policy and legislation.
For further information, read the detailed Job Profile. There is a genuine occupational requirement for this role to be filled by a Christian – see CARE’s statement of faith.
The role is based in CARE’s Westminster Office, though hybrid working options are available, with a minimum requirement of three days based in the Office per week, including Wednesdays.
The deadline for applications is 11pm on Sunday 10 March.
Shortlisted candidates will be contacted no later than Monday 11 March, with interviews planned in person at the CARE offices in Westminster on Thursday 14 March.
To apply, please complete the application form and the equal opportunities form and email to recruit@care.org.uk by 11pm on Monday 10 March 2024.
