This is an exciting opportunity to lead and shape Public Law Project s advocacy and influencing work at a critical time.
Following the launch of our new strategy, the successful candidate will develop and implement a public affairs strategy, working closely with research, casework and communications colleagues to shape policy and stakeholder opinion to advance our strategic objectives.
This role works at the intersection of some of the most pressing issues facing the UK today from advocating for fair and humane immigration and asylum systems, to championing universal access to justice, and addressing the risks posed by the misuse of AI by government. You will play an important role in ensuring our evidence, casework, and legal expertise translate into meaningful political impact.
You will have experience using a range of advocacy tools to influence senior stakeholders in Parliament and Government, including in the context of legislative development. You will also be a strategic thinker, comfortable working across multiple policy areas, with excellent political judgement.
This role sits in our research team. As you grow our influencing capacity and practice, you will need to develop excellent working relationships internally and externally. You will have demonstrable experience of collaborative, inclusive working practices.
You will be committed to PLP s values, have a keen interest in our work, some understanding of public law, social justice and constitutional reform, and a strong desire to affect change.
This is a permanent post. PLP supports flexible working practices and whilst this post is conceived as a full-time role, part-time hours will also be considered for the right candidate.
As part of our commitment to recruiting fairly we use anonymised-selection processes until interview. We also offer additional interview opportunities to the highest-scoring candidates from under-represented communities, and use tie-breaker provisions at all stages of our selection process.
